[Astrophile Series #1]
Jason Coleman's life is in crisis. After losing his job, he is forced to rent out his one-bedroom apartment in Boston as an emergency source of income. Now without a roof over his head, Jason turns to his best friend Sam for help, and ends up crashing at his place while Sam is away on a business trip. The last thing Jason expects to find on his first week back in New York City is a girl crying on the couch, especially when he realizes that the girl is in fact Matahari Myers, Sam's sister.
Matahari "Tari" Myers can only think of seeking refuge in her brother's apartment after she caught her (ex) boyfriend cheating on her with her (ex) roommate. With her heart in pieces, Tari doesn't care if anyone sees her bailing her eyes out like an insane lady, even if that anyone is none other than her brother's best friend, Jason Coleman.
When Jason poses as her new boyfriend in front of Tari's ex, a deal is struck between the two of them. Playing pretend surely is nice, but as they spend more time around each other, the line between what is real and not are starting to become blurry.
Two people, two hearts, and one charade. Whatever could go wrong?

Phenomenal
I'm Brilliance. I'm Gifted. I'm Phenomenal. ~~~ Clarissa has a new neighbour. He's charming - in that Irish way (even if his name is French). She's only thinking in terms of being 'a good neighbour' and a friend, of course. She has a boyfriend who she loves - even if her roommate DESPISES him. (He's really not so bad.) But as friends, she and her neighbour might just work. Especially when he comes home one night looking like he'd fought a frying pan and lost, and she ends up patching him up. Not that he'll tell her what happened. He just dismisses it, brushes it off and changes the topic. And then it happens again. And again. What the heck is he involved with? He says it's not illegal. His brother says that he's special. And Clarissa knows he's lost him somewhere along the way. But in what way has he lost himself? And can she help get him back on the right track? And in doing so, maybe she'll admit that she's also a little lost and needs help finding her feet again. ~~~ Phenomenal (Love and Other Catastrophes Book 1) ~~~ ~~~~ Please note: Mild Language Cover Photo by: (Locating Photographer's name)Complete

"So, let me get this straight. You stomped all over his paperwork?" She started. "Not intentionally, but yes," I confirmed it. "Threw a drink in his face?" She added. "Expensive red wine." I described. "Rammed into his car with yours deliberately?" she counted on her third finger. "Um...I'm not proud of that one," I said cringing. "And called him offensive names?" She ended the list and I winced. "Twice." I specified. "And you're still alive?" She blinked, looking genuinely surprised. "Geez, don't be dramatic or anything..." I frowned at her hyperbolic statement. "Maybe he's keeping you around to get revenge." She suggested. Possible. I wouldn't put it past him. "I didn't know alright!" I exclaimed. "Let's hope that excuse is acceptable.." She was merely amused.
