Make Me Yours — Ashley Zakrzewski

She's focused on getting her Masters degree, but all he can focus on is her. Ivy league grad student Carleigh Murphy could be relaxing in one of her parent's luxury Cape Cod beach houses, but she's determined to make it on her own. She's tightly wound, sassy and too focused on her studies to enjoy life in NYC. And she can't swing Hell's Kitchen rent on her waitress salary. Construction worker Bryson Kennedy is up for a big promotion, but he's also desperate to find a new place to live. When a mutual friend brings up Carleigh's urgent need for a roommate, he jumps at the opportunity. Carleigh is beautiful, blonde, and comes from money---she's way out of his league. And the last thing she wants is a distraction, even if it comes in the form of a handsome, muscular man who looks enticing in just a towel. But the more they get to know each other, the more their initial impressions change. Carleigh's whip smart and not a rich brat, and Bryson's funny and dotes on her when she gets sick. Their first touch is electrifying. They can't keep their minds off one another. But they're both afraid to say anything. Will they be able to drop the shield guarding their hearts or go their separate ways when the lease is up?
