Ally Anderson has the best life a girl could ask for. Good friends, a close family and her dream course. Everything's perfect-until it isn't. After disaster strikes the Anderson family, she can either fall behind or get with the picture. Getting with the picture comes with more drawbacks than it does perks. As the new legal guardian of her two younger sisters and the face behind her family's pub, her old carefree life seems like nothing but a fever dream. Roman Ledger has the whole world at his feet. As the recently crowned CEO of Ledger Industries, Roman must step into the esteemed boots of his Father and prove his worth to his company. Eager to impress, Roman's expansion plans are fast underway. With only one building left to buy out at urban sprawl's centre, Roman will stop at nothing to get the final piece: a family-owned pub, the Crystal Cavalry. After one night off the wagon lands Ally in billionaire Roman's bed, Ally recognises her sweet lover Roman as the same capitalist scumbag out to steal her bar. Attraction fizzles into hate and hate spirals into lust. Drawing the lines between business and pleasure is almost impossible when your enemy is already your lover.

Like when he accidentally picks up her vibrator... Or when she walks in on him naked in the shower... Maybe... maybe they should just do it once... to get it out of their systems. Knightley has been her brother's best friend for as long as she can remember. And now they're all at the same university. It's not until she moves into his apartment that she notices just how grown-up he's become. He's no longer the scrawny boy she never paid attention to. Ripped and handsome, he's no stranger to taking women home. But he never lets them stay the night. Knightley never expected this. Somehow, he's ended up living with his best friend's little sister. And she has turned hot as hell. He does not need the image of her with a vibrator taking up space in his head. She is off limits. Of course she is. No matter what kind of feelings he has for her. This is a brother's best friend, roommates-to-lovers with a secret relationship and steamy benefits. (❤️18+ recommended❤️) It's unedited, so there might be mistakes throughout. Thanks for your understanding! Book 2 in the Benefits series. This is a standalone, but it follows Pride and Hate with Benefits. (Both are inspired by Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice and Emma.)
