When a disastrous job interview sends you to drown your sorrows at a local bar, the last thing you expect is to wake up next to the hottest guy you've ever seen—and then never see him again. Fast forward to your dream job as assistant baseball coach, and surprise: your new boss is literally that guy, and you're somehow renting the apartment above his garage. Now you're trying desperately to keep things professional while he's giving you those smoldering single-dad looks every time you cross paths, and a broken shower has you sneaking into his kitchen at night in ways that are decidedly not helping your cause. This laugh-out-loud, steamy enemies-to-lovers rom-com perfectly captures that delicious tension between wanting something you shouldn't have and realizing maybe you actually can.
