Sleeping with Trouble
(2026)(The second book in the Straight Detour series)
A novel by Ariella Zoelle
My high school nemesis just became my new roommate. The real problem? He won’t stay out of my bed.
I have a campus-wide reputation for being every bi-curious guy’s favorite bad decision. But there’s one infuriating man who’d rather lick a public toilet than admit I’m hot. Axel is a human bank vault of self-control whose combination I’ve been dying to crack since high school.
Thanks to a cosmic joke from the housing department, he’s my new roommate. Imagine my shock when Mr. Moral Superiority sleepwalks into my room, climbs into my bed, and starts mumbling a nickname so sweet it threatens to turn me into the one thing I swore I’d never be: someone’s boyfriend.
One night is a fluke. But the recurring event of my sworn enemy sleep-cuddling me like his favorite teddy bear is not in my playbook. How can the straight man who spends his days acting like I’m the human equivalent of gas station sushi hold me like I’m his at night? It gives me dangerous ideas like wondering if I can convince him to stay when the sun comes up.
Can I copy someone’s notes for Boyfriend 101? I skipped class the day we went over how to convince your enemy you aren’t a walking warning label and I really want to ace the oral exam.
Sleeping with Trouble is a scorching, laugh-out-loud MM romantic comedy featuring sworn enemies, forced proximity, and a bisexual awakening fueled by midnight confessions he doesn’t remember. It also stars a king of chaos meeting his match, sexual tension that makes angels trade their harps for popcorn, and the inconvenient truth that your rival might be the only person you can’t sleep without.
Welcome to the Straight Detour series, where sexuality takes the scenic route. The road to true love starts with a wrong turn, and the best detours are the ones you never knew you needed.
Genre: Gay Romance
