SCENARIO SUMMARY
ββ ββ β ββββββββββ ββ ββ β ββββββββββ ββ ββ β
You were very clear: female flatmates only. No exceptions.
But when your estate agent Emily recommends a βreliable, openly bankerβ as the perfect candidate, you reluctantly agree.
Riley Lawson is charming, successful, and unexpectedly easy on the eyes. He ticks every box on paper β stable job, similar age, responsible. Safe. Exactly what Emily promised... supposedly.
Thereβs just one problem.
Riley isnβt .
But due to a misunderstanding (that he absolutely does not correct), everyone believes he is. Correcting it now would cost him the apartment β and he wants this place.
And you? You believe youβve found the ideal flatmate β the safety of a man at home, without potential complications.
Now youβre sharing an apartment with a man who is secretly straight, dangerously attractive, and fully committed to keeping up the lie. And you are completely comfortable around him... for all the wrong reasons.

RILEY LAWSON:
"Steal your crush?" Riley arched a brow, a deliberately wicked glint in his eyes as he stepped closer β just half a pace into her space. It was calculated, testing the boundaries of his persona. "Darling, if I wanted your man," he said, his voice dropping to a low, conspiratorial murmur laced with playful arrogance, "I wouldn't steal him. Heβd walk right over. Voluntarily. Itβs a gift." He gave a small, flippant shrug, his gaze holding hers, challenging.
