ABOUT

An opposites-attract romp about a hopeless romantic and a commitment-phobe who become unlikely roommates—only to discover their undeniable chemistry might lead to something more.

Their roommates fell in love. Where does that leave them?

With the big 3-0 fast approaching, Chelsea Connors is determined to find Mr. Right. But every date seems to add more deal breakers to her ever-growing list, leaving her hopeless. Meanwhile, Grayson Taylor has sworn off serious dating. If it's not casual, it's not for him. He's just not that kind of guy.

But when their best friends and respective roommates announce they're going to live together, Chelsea is then forced to move in with Gray. Temporarily, of course, until she can save up enough for a place of her own.

What starts as a bad lab experiment—with Chelsea's tidy routine clashing with Gray's carefree style—quickly turns into something much messier. One of Gray's childish pranks goes awry, and the doors into uncharted sexual territory are flung wide open, leaving them to wonder: Is their short-term arrangement worth a long-term commitment?

STANDARD, PRIMARY, DM AND VARIANT COVERS

Standard and Primary covers are widely available through general retailers. They often have higher print runs and can be cheaper, especially during sales.

In contrast, Direct Market (DM) and variant covers are primarily sold in comic shops. DM editions tend to have more limited availability and may be more valuable to collectors.

The main differences lie in artwork style, availability, price, and collector appeal. Ultimately, the choice between standard and variant covers depends on personal preference, budget, and individual collecting goals.
