Margot Quinn

A high-heat, open-door romantic comedy about one impossible roommate arrangement, and two people who are about to break every rule.Nora Bennett needs two things: a place to live and the career-making wedding that could finally put her event-planning business on the map.Jack Rourke has the spare room she needs. Unfortunately, the tattooed, permanently irritated chef also has rules about everything, his kitchen, his food, his cat, his bathroom schedule and the precise amount of optimism permitted before coffee.Nora agrees to stay temporarily. She will keep her belongings contained, her orange cat under control and her attraction to Jack completely professional.That plan lasts about as long as Jack’s patience.Between narrow hallway encounters, late-night meals and a catering emergency that forces them to work side by side, their reluctant truce becomes something neither of them knows how to contain. Jack shows affection through perfectly timed food and quiet acts of care. Nora brings colour, noise and warmth into every part of the life he has kept carefully controlled.The attraction between them is undeniable. Acting on it could threaten their home, their careers and the fragile friendship growing beneath all that banter.But some rules are made to be broken.The Roommate Situation is a spicy, open-door contemporary romantic comedy featuring grumpy-sunshine chemistry, forced proximity, roommates-to-lovers, a tattooed chef, an ambitious wedding planner, meddling friends, two opinionated cats and a guaranteed happily-ever-after.
