(12x featured) When alluring bad girl Natalie Holt is forced to be roommates with the sweet Mira Jung, neither of them expect the tension to brew into a steaming attraction. ********* Hot guys. Hot women. Endless tans at the beach. All at the fingers of one beautiful but notorious bad girl Natalie Holt. Her bed is never empty, and even though it's a different person every time, she prefers it that way. But when her third roommate-with-benefits ends horribly, her plans to save up enough money to open her dream dance studio might just go down the drain. So when Mira Jung, the girl whom she resents, offers a free room at her luxury condo, she has no choice but to accept it. Besides, even if Mira irritates her to death, she's still cute... and interesting. Sweet dancer Mira Jung is desperately looking for a roommate so she can be away from her overbearing rich parents. While they're paying for her condo, it was under two conditions: she can't live alone, and she can't live with a boy. With the clock ticking, she invites Natalie to extend her one-night couch surfing into a permanent roommate arrangement. Seems like the worst idea, especially when Natalie is like a roommate sent straight from hell who resents Mira from day one. But Mira is still drawn to Natalie's alluring aura... because she's too damn hard to resist. What if Mira is exactly the right dosage of sweet espresso that Natalie needs?
