Worth the Chance by Clara Mott

Eliza Mills has gone through a lot in the past few years. Her boyfriend dumping her? Check. Her best friend ghosting her? Check. Getting sick and eventually diagnosed with celiac disease? Check. Despite everything her hopeless romantic heart stays firmly intact. Eliza is excited for her fresh start as she transfers into Watertown University her junior year with a space of her own. There’s only one problem – a roommate she never expected.
Garrett Moore is determined to never fall in love. After a rocky upbringing he believes it’s the safest path for him in life and so far, so good. As his senior year starts he finds himself in a surprising living situation and despite his new roommate being incredibly gorgeous, kind and somewhat sassy, the NHL bound hockey star refuses to let that phase him. His plan is going well until one day he sees her looking uncomfortable on campus and he ends up claiming her as his own.

The two decide to form a mutually beneficial, fake, relationship but what happens when the line between what’s fake and what’s real gets blurred?
