Title Hunt for The 'Boss Roommate' Story
Bros,
Like I mentioned, next month you’ll see a new story where the working name was “The Divorced Roommate.”
I need your lads’ help to figure out a title for this story.
But first, here’s a little glimpse of the story:
When Greg, a hot, masculine forty-three-year-old boss, found himself newly single and reeling from a divorce, Alex offered him his spare room just to help out. It was meant to be temporary, a simple gesture of kindness. But living under the same roof with Greg quickly proved to be far more complicated than Alex expected. What began as respect and admiration soon twisted into something heavier, something he couldn’t shake every time his older boss was near. Alex finds himself crossing lines he never thought he would.

So, what do you guys think would be a good title?
I’m also open to hearing any other title ideas you lads might have, so throw them my way if something hotter comes to mind. (Non explicit options only)

Given the current interest in work-life balance why not something like work-life boss or work-life balance boss, implying the boss now manages that balance for him
That was easy enough of a vote
I know of a separate story with the title of “Temporary Arrangement”, so I’d suggest a different title so “avid readers” aren’t getting things mixed up :p Maybe something like “Voluntary Overtime”, “Replacement Wife”, “Employee Support”, or “Roommate of the Month”, a pun on Employee of the month lol
Thanks for the suggestions, but those titles don’t really fit the story I want to tell. I might rework Temporary Arrangement and adjust it a little instead
If Alex is Greg’s employee, and you’re leaning into that tension/power imbalance (or reorienting or power…), I’d rather see “boss” somewhere in the title (“My Boss, My Roommate”, “When the Boss Moved In”, or implied “From corner office to spare room”).
Gotcha, I think "Temporary Arrangement with Mr.Greg" sounds like something I might do
