The Only Desk Left

The Only Desk Left

Maya Rivera only needed a desk for three months.

Ethan Cole never planned on sharing his.

When freelance designer Maya loses her apartment and her clients in the same week, the last available desk in a quiet shared workspace feels like a lifeline. The only problem? It belongs to the building’s most private resident — architect Ethan Cole — who makes it very clear he doesn’t do temporary neighbors, small talk, or cheerful interruptions.

What starts as pure friction slowly turns into late nights, quiet coffee runs, and a connection neither of them expected. But when Maya’s temporary agreement is cut short, the desk isn’t the only thing she’s at risk of losing.

Now they have to decide if what they found was only ever meant to be temporary… or if it’s worth fighting to keep.

A slow-burn, grumpy/sunshine contemporary romance about second chances, shared space, and falling for the last person you planned on.
