The Cuddle Clause
Living with a werewolf is… complicated.
Maggie James is thirty-one, freshly dumped, and emotionally scorched.
Losing her relationship also cost her the apartment she rented with her ex. Now she’s unmoored and answering a roommate ad from a total stranger.
A stranger who turns out to be a neurodivergent werewolf with a detailed lease agreement… and a legally binding cuddle clause.
Roman Velasquez likes quiet, structure, and his Good Plate.
He’s used to living alone—until pack politics force his hand. To avoid being mated off for supernatural convenience, Roman needs to convince his Alpha that he’s already claimed. Maggie panics, blurts out a lie, and suddenly they’re fake-mated, cuddling after full moons, and trying very hard not to catch feelings.
It’s just a roommate agreement. Just magical paperwork. Just a fake relationship to stop a supernatural power grab.
They both know the rules.
Don’t touch the plate.
Respect the schedule.
No falling in love.
Too bad they’re already breaking all of them.
For fans of:
→ fake dating with fangs
→ grumpy/sunshine but genderflipped
→ structured touch, cozy spice, and emotional support cuddles
→ neurodivergent romance that doesn’t center trauma
→ one (1) sacred plate
