When shy freshman Travis steps into his new dorm room, he expects awkward small talk and late-night study sessions. What he doesn’t expect is Gino—the confident, maddeningly charming roommate who seems to live shirtless and impossible to ignore. The two couldn’t be more different: one quiet and careful, the other loud and effortlessly magnetic. But boundaries blur fast when laughter turns into late-night confessions and friendly teasing becomes something that feels dangerously like desire. Every glance lingers too long. Every touch burns hotter. And when their self-imposed “roommate rule” starts to crack, Travis and Gino are forced to face what they’ve both been avoiding—the moment when friendship crosses into something that can’t be taken back. The Roommate Rule is a slow burn that sizzles, a story about first times, fearless honesty, and the kind of connection that refuses to stay hidden.
