About this listen
Four walls. Three ridiculously hot roommates. One rule: Don’t fall in love.Too bad rules were made to be broken.
When Emily Harper catches her fiancé cheating, her perfectly planned life goes up in flames. With nowhere to go and nothing but a hastily packed bag of mismatched essentials, she answers a roommate ad on impulse. What she doesn’t expect is to find herself living in a downtown loft—with three insanely attractive guys.
Ash: The metrosexual playboy who knows the difference between a serum and a toner and whose smirk alone could melt hearts (and panties).
Ryan: The gym-obsessed charmer with abs for days and a playful streak that keeps Emily on her toes.
Theo: The sweet, geeky bookworm who might just be harboring a naughty side behind those quiet eyes.
They’re funny, flirty, and infuriatingly irresistible. For Emily, her life has gone from boring and predictable to dangerously exciting. But with sparks flying, boundaries blurring, and more than a few steamy encounters, Emily starts to wonder: Is this unconventional arrangement the fresh start she needs—or a recipe for complete chaos?
Get ready for a wild ride full of laughs, swoons, and scorching hot chemistry. Roommates With Benefits is a standalone why-choose romcom featuring multiple irresistible love interests, laugh-out-loud moments, and scorching heat. No cheating, and a sweet HEA guaranteed!

After fleeing a shattered engagement, I wanted a fresh start in New York City, but instead all I got was a tiny apartment with a communal bathroom and a rat that steals my Oreos. Oh, and one hot night I won’t soon forget. What I didn't expect was the gorgeous man at the bar to want his two best friends to watch us together. How was I supposed to know they were about to be my new bosses?

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 34
Starlight Grove needs a new lighthouse keeper, and Olive Autumn Harvest needs a fresh start. Preferably one with as much solitude as possible. So, her new job and isolated ocean cottage are perfect—except for the eccentric, meddling townspeople and the cat who's adopted her. When the town wins a grant for lighthouse restoration, Olive is forced to let the contractors into her space… a company comprised of three hot alphas: Easton, her golden retriever stalker, Lars, the steady, protective Viking, and Finn, who's hiding a pain that matches her own.

Five years ago, I disappeared from the life I had and built this one. I spend my days and most of my nights on the line, helping my clients achieve their goals. They call me when they are in a jam or are getting ready to move on a target. I'm their information specialist. The woman in the chair. I'm their switchboard. Intelligence, electronic eyes, computer hacking—I do it all. My singular goal is to bring my clients home safely. Some clients are more special than others. We all play favorites. I know them, they've never seen me.

In therapy, they tell you to use your senses. List the things you know: Sermons recited with malice. A blood-soaked ritual. The sting of tears and gasping sobs of the dying. Rotting flesh. I grew up in a cage, tortured by the Lord Almighty's most twisted servant. Death and despair became my close companions as I watched years of slaughter at Pastor Michaels’ hand. Eighteen girls. Dead. Eighteen lives. Ended. Eighteen futures. Stolen.

Just the sight of Nico ‘Stix’ Jamieson makes me want to hurt something. Between his stupid smiles on that annoyingly handsome face and the constant drumming of anything that makes a sound with those drumsticks of his, I want to throttle him. No one is that happy. I don’t trust it. Even when my hate for him is clear, he throws it back in my face with a smile and wave. And how he loves to push my buttons when he’s feeling especially obnoxious. If I hate him, then why am I obsessed with him?

But Atlas, Hunter, Finn, Jett, and Orion are poison candy. They don't want an omega, but they need one, even if there will never be a real spot for me in their pack.

But it turns out, Nix had other plans. Now I’m sneaking around with my brother’s teammate, refusing to admit he’s everything I want but never knew I needed.
