Beyond Us

Two roommates. One pact. A kiss that changes everything. Moving in with Eli Hutton was supposed to keep my heart safe. After both our relationships crashed and burned, cohabitation seemed like a no-brainer. A reset from chaos back to stability. A chance to protect one another from Cupid and his stupid little arrows. Sure, he's adorable . . . Hilarious… Gorgeous . . . And so charming he makes me feel like the brightest star in the sky . . . Alright, fine. The man is a sinfully sexy angel sent to tempt me each and every day. (Don't judge. No one can resist him. You'll see.) All that aside, Eli's like a brother to me. And for him, I'm just one of the guys. But somewhere along the line, I did the one thing I swore I wouldn't. I fell in love. With him. It was only a little—at first. Then one accidental kiss sent my traitorous heart into overdrive. I swear, it's just a phase. I'm sure it'll pass with time. I just need to keep my feelings secret until things go back to normal. Then again, the heart wants what the heart wants . . . and mine wants him.
