Anchored to You (Creepin U: Season 2)

A past connection can be difficult to ignore when the person you tried to forget becomes your roommate. In Anchored to You, Ashley Rayne brings readers back to Creepin U for a paranormal male/male romance about second chances, shared space, and feelings that refuse to stay casual. Beck arrives at the new school year with practical priorities. He wants to keep up with his classes, play baseball, and earn enough money to pay for school. Romance is not part of his plan, especially after the complications of his previous connection with Talon. Last year, Beck treated their encounter as a hookup and disappeared, telling himself he had too much going on to pursue anything deeper. That decision becomes harder to maintain when Talon turns out to be his new roommate. Talon remembers being ghosted, but he does not want Beck to know how much it hurt. Instead, he claims that their past meant nothing and that he has moved on. When their attraction draws them together again, they agree to keep things casual, without expectations or emotional commitments. Sharing a confined living space makes that arrangement increasingly difficult. Their chemistry grows, while the hurt and uncertainty beneath their agreement remain unresolved. Both characters must face the difference between pretending not to care and being willing to risk another disappointment. Set in the supernatural university world of Creepin U, this story combines paranormal romance with college life, forced proximity, roommates-to-lovers tension, and a second-chance relationship. Readers can expect a character-focused romance about vulnerability, communication, and discovering whether an old connection deserves a new beginning. The book is suited to adult readers who enjoy male/male romance, supernatural college settings, shifter-related fiction, emotional romantic tension, and stories in which former hookups struggle with unexpected feelings.
