Katie Mills, or Kat as she likes to go by, was super excited for her first year of university. Living away from her family and the secrets she left behind, she was happy to start somewhere new. Though, when she gets there and is living in a house on campus, something went wrong. Now Kat is living with 4 other guys; one devil, one angel, one silent and mysterious and one overly childish and nice. What was suppose to be a fresh, amazing start changes into something completely different. With the 4 boys, what could happen, and would one of them catch her heart?

When Everly Reed collides with the cynical and devilishly handsome Mason Valdez, she knows trouble is ahead, but she never could have guessed how much she would be drawn to the storm. ***** Nineteen-year-old Ever Reed likes when things make sense. Which is probably why she excels at math, enough to secure her a spot at an Ivy League school out of state. Sheltered by her mother and older brother Asher for most of her life, Ever hasn't experienced much of the world, but she knows New York will be an adventure. Enter Mason Valdez: cynical, arrogant, and undeniably attractive-exactly what Ever doesn't need. But as their paths keep crossing, Ever finds herself intrigued by Mason, and eager to know the boy behind the bitter mask. As secrets, scars, and painful pasts rise to the surface, Ever knows one thing for sure: they can only make it through if they face their storms together.
