Secret Roomie

By Victoria Stevens

The Secret Roomie is a steamy, slow-burn romance that will make you swoon, with a resilient woman looking for new beginnings, and a lifelong playboy looking for love.
Will these two finally get the lives they never dared hope for, or will the power of perception tear them apart before they can even begin?

Faith
When I put out an ad for a roommate, I was hoping for a way to finance my lifestyle as an artist, and possibly a friend. What I didn't expect was the tall blonde, dripping in old money and perfect muscles, to come calling. This man is in no way, shape, or form, a single female, which was clearly my only requirement for a roomie.

After sifting through the misunderstanding that is a result of complete cluelessness on his part, in a bout of uncharacteristic bravery, or absolute stupidity, (depending on your interpretation) I find myself shacked up with the Golden Boy of Oakwood Park himself, Christian Taylor.

After months of living together, an unlikely friendship forms between us, making tensions rise, and deep secrets to be spilled. I find that under that careless exterior, he's so much more than the spoiled rich boy I thought he was.

When I ask him for the favor of all favors, surprisingly, he accepts. Now, I have to figure out how to navigate this new relationship without falling for the guy that, for so many reasons, could never be mine.

Christian
Plans are meant to be broken. I live life wild and carefree, much to the dismay of my family. I'm the black sheep, the secret stain on the perfect Taylor name. I don't plan on her, though. Those gorgeous olive-green eyes, that sweet, spicy woman hidden under a silent exterior. Faith Garza is the girl I've been trying not to stare at since we were kids.

Now, in a stroke of pure luck, she becomes my best friend and the only person that has ever asked anything of significance out of me. So, of course, I accept. But this plan goes alarmingly off course when feelings emerge that I can't hold back anymore. Now, I have to figure out a way to get through to her without losing the best friend I've ever had.

Come on Christian, what do you do when your best friend, who has no idea you've been crushing on her for your whole life asks you to be her no-strings sex guide?

Easy. Make her fall in love with you.

What could go wrong?
