The Rude Awakening of Love
Emerson never expected to fall for her rude, brooding roommate. In fact, when she first moved in with Dakota Johnson, she couldn't stand him. He was cold, distant, and made it very clear he didn't want her there. But somewhere between the late-night arguments, stolen glances, and the walls they both tried to keep up, everything changed.
What started as indifference turned into something neither of them were ready for-something raw, intense, and completely off-limits. They kept it a secret, unsure of what it meant, but secrets have a way of coming out.
And Dakota has more than most.
With a past that refuses to let go and a father who brings nothing but destruction, Dakota is convinced he's not the kind of man Emerson should love. But Emerson has never been the type to walk away from a fight-and Dakota is the only one worth fighting for.
But love isn't always enough. And when the past comes crashing down, they'll have to decide if what they have is worth risking everything.
