Kismet Cafe

Celebrity Greyson Ace is forced into hiding after a scandal about him breaks the news. With nowhere else to turn, Grey heads to his best friend’s place in quiet Skystead, Maine to stay with her while he waits for the heat to die down. Only, Elodie isn’t there. Instead, Grey almost gets hit over the head with a cast iron skillet wielded by one of the cutest guys he’s ever seen. Turns out, Elodie has a roommate she never mentioned and now she’s gone on a business trip, leaving the two of them alone in the house. This is the worst possible time for Greyson to fall for someone, and yet, he can’t seem to stop thinking about his new roommate. Or all the things he’d like to do to him.

Yu Jin Lee needs cash. Badly. His restaurant, Kismet Café, is doing really well, but since he started helping his mom out financially, it isn't enough. He refuses to give up on his lifelong dream without a fight. So when Greyson Ace appears in his living room one night, offering to pay triple the rent, there’s no way he can afford to refuse. When a misunderstanding leads Grey to believe Yu Jin doesn’t recognize him as the famous actor her is, Yu Jin rolls with it, not wanting to get any closer to the man than he has to. Of course, that would be a lot easier if Greyson wasn’t so charismatic. Or sexy. Or so obviously lonely.

Greyson is hiding something about his scandal, but he's not the only one with problems. The cafe is Yu Jin's way of connecting with his Asian roots, and he can't afford to lose it. Keeping the tarnished actor around might bring bad press. But how is he supposed to turn Grey away when he recognizes the same yearning for connection in him that he himself feels?

As the two of them navigate being roommates and get to know one another, they start to realize despite the poor timing and the things they think they don’t want, some things are simply kismet.
