A light-hearted tale of two almost strangersβ hilarious and heartwarming experiences after agreeing to self-isolate together during the 2020 pandemic.
Valerie Layton detests her motherβs suggestion: self-isolate with her coworker during the coronavirus pandemic. Valerie barely knows Derek beyond working on their joint project, and she canβt imagine sharing her condo with him. But as their lockdown together continues and sheβs dealing with family from a distance, Valerie discovers sharing her space with Derek isnβt the problem. Suppressing romantic thoughts about her helpful houseguest proves the challenge. Especially since she kissed him first.
Derek Sanders decides if forced to self-isolate, he much prefers being locked up with the delectable Valerie and her adorable cat than living alone. They soon settle into a workable routine, and he doesnβt mind being Valerieβs rock during stressful moments. But as Derek grows closer to his roomie, keeping his mind on his work and his hands off her becomes an issue. And then she shocks him with an offer he never expected.
Could Valerie and Derek discover an upside to the pandemic? Or will they part ways once their self-isolation lockdown ends, and hopefully, the world moves into a new normal?
