IOU is a standalone romantic comedy with forced proximity (roommates), a bad boy hero, and a deal with the devil (but in a cute way.) Reading this book comes with the side effects of spontaneous giggling, excessive swooning, and the sudden urge to make questionable deals with attractive strangers. Reader discretion is advised.
