Arresting Love by Shawn Lane

Aspiring chef Taylor Gershwin needs a new place to live, and someone in his friend's apartment building is advertising for a roommate.

It sounds perfect. He'd be close to his best friend and it isn't too far from his job as a short order cook and the chef school he attends. Sure, the guy he'd be roommates with, Mike Hanovan, is something of a Neanderthal. A big brawny guy with a snake tattoo who also happens to be a cop ... and hot as hell. And Taylor doesn't exactly want to tell him he's bipolar. Lots of guys he knows don't understand mental illness.

But maybe this time, Mike will accept Taylor for who he is, stuffed sea creatures and all.
