    About this ebook

    A shy man and a bold woman locked in a bathroom together. Will they emerge as lovers or enemies?


    When a broken lock traps a shy Cambridge graduate and a free-spirited romance writer together in a bathroom during a house party, they expect an awkward predicament but find meaningful connection. Trapped together, their contrasting personalities mesh as they bare not only their souls. The evasive small talk turns into playful teasing and candid confessions, leading to a daring 'first kiss' challenge. But their chemistry is put to the test when they discover the truth about their "chance" meeting.


    A forced proximity romantic short story (40 pages).

      I walked down the road with a hunched back and a wet cigarette in my mouth—the fire had died a while back. My hands were tucked into the pockets of my jacket, and my hair fell over my face, limiting my sight. But I wasn’t really seeing where I was go
