*THE ORIGINAL EMMALINE - BUT WATTPAD TOOK IT DOWN * Emmaline Black is no stranger to abuse, or to torture of any kind from her loving mother, and the men she is often sold to, despite how rich her mother is. Despite everything she's been through, it's a miracle she's alive. Through it all, Emmaline's learned to conceal her feelings, to repress them, to repress her memories, so she won't get caught up in it. All her life, she has built walls, to protect her heart. But one day, her mother dies, and she finds out she has older brothers, four older brothers. Only one of them likes her, while two of them hate her, and she can't doesn't know about her oldest brother. A life with her older brothers brings so many unexpected changes. Not used to having people care for her, people tolerating her existence, Emmaline's determined to keep a lid on her past, and not have everything known. But it's kind of hard when her past seems to catch up with her, and connect with her present. Also, there's something up with her brothers. She just knows. They think she doesn't know. But she does. But despite that, there's something about her brothers that makes her warm up to them slightly.

Roommates with Benefits [COMPLETED]
*Check out the audiobook on Youtube* Emma has sworn never to fall in love, but when circumstances force her to move in with her brother's best friend there are definite sparks. 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.) Please let me know what you think in the comments. Thank you!Complete
