Becoming roommates with a hot, commitment-phobic football player wasn't the plan. Neither was ending up in his bed.

When my ex's cheating ruined my life, I didn't think I'd be saved by my brother's friend Gael "Saint" Santiago- a star wide receiver with a dimpled smile and a different woman on his arm every week.

Now I'm in the bedroom next door and Saint has stopped dating. Instead, he holds me close when my ex is in sight, and offers himself as my rebound.

He's not supposed to become my home. Saint doesn't do happily ever after, and I won't settle for anything less.

But we've been sharing our nights for weeks with no end in sight. Maybe forever doesn't scare this player after all...
