If These Walls Could Talk

From USA Today bestselling author Alexandria Bellefleur comes a heartfelt new adult romance about blurred boundaries, mutual misunderstandings, and the fears that keep us from following our hearts. College sophomore Ryan Miller was born for the stage. But he’s living his father’s dream now, pursuing a teaching degree and sensible future. Everything’s on track until his new roommate walks in—and Ryan finds himself face-to-face with his old high school crush. Colton Everett is talented, magnetic, and impossible to read. Their icy reunion eventually melts into late-night talks and whispered confidences, but their surprising friends with benefits arrangement feels far from casual. They make rules. Break them. And tiptoe around their feelings. A visit from Colton’s sister, who thinks they’re just friends, brings their secret simmer to a boil. It’s hard to keep pretending—especially when forced to share a bed. And as Ryan struggles to balance family expectations with his own desires, a miscommunication threatens to destroy the only relationship that feels real. But just as he’s about to give up, a spark from an unexpected source offers one last chance to follow his heart. © 2026 by Alexandria Bellefleur, all rights reserved.
