The Landlord — June Bryan Belfie

Kristen, a lovely young college graduate, struggles to find employment as she deals with feelings of loneliness and rejection after her boyfriend drops her without explanation. Along comes a new landlord â€" a handsome and successful realtor named Dave, who starts off on the wrong foot by restricting all pets from the premises. She will not give up her cat â€" her faithful companion. A leaking toilet, a squeaky door, and a trip to the gym, all act as collision courses for the two who eventually become friends â€" or are they more? Kristen soon finds herself facing a new crisis. Does she take back her old boyfriend, who has re-appeared; date a young lawyer who finds her fascinating; or wait for the man whom she's most attracted to, even though he appears to have other commitments?
