Falling For My Roommate - Hardcover

by Garrett Leigh (Author)

Falling for his roommate gives ex footballer Micah the second chance he deserves, and what could be better than loving your best friend?MicahI'm a broke ex-football player with a bum leg and PTSD. Last summer, I had two choices: the streets, or find a cheap room to rent in the city. I chose the second option, which landed me with a brand-new problem, cos I hadn't banked on my roommate becoming my best friend. Or that before long I'd find myself head over heels in love with him. Trouble is, even if Sam likes me back, I ain't fit to be no one's boyfriend. I don't know how. All I do is wade through every precious moment and hope that he doesn't regret the day he ever met me.SamI'm a gay book nerd with no business falling in love with hunky athletes. Micah is the dictionary definition of beautiful, inside and out, he just doesn't know it. And he definitely doesn't know I'm ridiculously in love with him. The embarrassing kind of love. He's all I can think about.But it's not as simple as loving someone who doesn't love me back. Micah is damaged goods-at least, that's how he'd put it. The world has chewed him up and spat him out, and he thinks he deserved it. That he's still the battered mess he was a year ago.I want to shake him, and shout in his face that he's not. To force the truth on him and make him believe in himself the way I do. But I can't save Micah. One day, perhaps he'll realise that he already saved himself.
