From subway to Broadway to happily ever after. Modern love in all its
thrill, hilarity, and uncertainty has never been so compulsively
readable as in New York Times bestselling author Christina Lauren's
Roomies.
Marriages of convenience are so*...inconvenient.*
For months Holland Bakker has invented excuses to descend into the
subway station near her apartment, drawn to the captivating music
performed by her street musician crush. Lacking the nerve to actually
talk to the gorgeous stranger, fate steps in one night in the form of
a drunken attacker. Calvin Mcloughlin rescues her, but quickly
disappears when the police start asking questions.
Using the only resource she has to pay the brilliant musician back,
Holland gets Calvin an audition with her uncle, Broadway's hottest
musical director. When the tryout goes better than even Holland could
have imagined, Calvin is set for a great entry into Broadway--until his
reason for disappearing earlier becomes clear: he's in the country
illegally, his student visa having expired years ago.
Seeing that her uncle needs Calvin as much as Calvin needs him, a wild
idea takes hold of her. Impulsively, she marries the Irishman, her
infatuation a secret only to him. As their relationship evolves and
Calvin becomes the darling of Broadway--in the middle of the theatrics
and the acting-not-acting--will Holland and Calvin to realize that they
both stopped pretending a long time ago?
