New neighbors Andi and Hayden don't get off to the best start - and neither do their dogs. When the hostility between their pets, Bart and Rosie, leads to noisy barking, Andi and Hayden must solve their pet's tension or risk eviction from their apartment complex.
***
Andi loves stability and has her whole life planned out for her. A lakeside apartment as she grows her career, a promotion at her interior design company, a work-oriented husband similar to her, and an eventual suburban house are all on the list. A potential eviction is not. To prevent a derailment to her plans (and prevent change, the one thing she hates), she must put up with her carefree, annoyingly hot neighbor as their dogs undergo "conflict resolution" at a pet-training facility an hour away.
Hayden lives his life day-to-day and hates committing to things permanently. With his pet photography business on the verge of expansion, he can't seem to come to a decision about what he wants with his life. However, what he knows for sure is that he doesn't want to be kicked out of the only pet-friendly lakeside apartment complex in town. To avoid eviction for him and Rosie, he joins his incredibly hot yet infuriatingly uptight neighbor as their dogs learn to play nice, and just maybe, they do too.

Espresso Shot Through The Heart
(12x featured) When alluring bad girl Natalie Holt is forced to be roommates with the sweet Mira Jung, neither of them expect the tension to brew into a steaming attraction. ********* Hot guys. Hot women. Endless tans at the beach. All at the fingers of one beautiful but notorious bad girl Natalie Holt. Her bed is never empty, and even though it's a different person every time, she prefers it that way. But when her third roommate-with-benefits ends horribly, her plans to save up enough money to open her dream dance studio might just go down the drain. So when Mira Jung, the girl whom she resents, offers a free room at her luxury condo, she has no choice but to accept it. Besides, even if Mira irritates her to death, she's still cute... and interesting. Sweet dancer Mira Jung is desperately looking for a roommate so she can be away from her overbearing rich parents. While they're paying for her condo, it was under two conditions: she can't live alone, and she can't live with a boy. With the clock ticking, she invites Natalie to extend her one-night couch surfing into a permanent roommate arrangement. Seems like the worst idea, especially when Natalie is like a roommate sent straight from hell who resents Mira from day one. But Mira is still drawn to Natalie's alluring aura... because she's too damn hard to resist. What if Mira is exactly the right dosage of sweet espresso that Natalie needs?

Falling for the Last Person I'd Ever Love... And Yet
What if a cat and a dog tolerate each other? Not in peace--obviously--but in wildly dysfunctional harmony. That's Seraphina and Kai-she strikes first with chaos and claws, he retaliates with passive-aggressive sarcasm and emotional warfare. It's not a romance. It's a tactical battlefield with feelings. For as long as they can remember, Seraphina Voss and Kai Sterling have been locked in elite-level rivalry. Not the flirty kind. No---this is cold-war chaos between two rich kids raised like family (ew), trapped in the same social circles (double ew), and trained in the fine art of mutual sabotage. But when one dramatic arrest pushes their families over the edge, they're given the worst punishment imaginable: working together. In the same office. With real jobs. Corporate hell---but make it personal. To make matters worse, they've both caught feelings for other people. Desperate to escape each other and this soul-sucking job, they strike a deal: Seraphina helps Kai win his "perfect" girl. Kai plays wingman for Seraphina's dream guy. Clean. Simple. Foolproof. Until it all starts falling apart, thanks to office warfare, many "accidental" double dates, and emotionally violent wars in silence. Because somewhere between strategic humiliation and whatever emotionally compromising event just went down, they might be falling for the one person they hate the most. And it's not about who falls first. It's how they fall. ⚠️ Contains verbal combat, morally questionable pranks, dangerously slow-burning tension, and at least one chair thrown in the name of love. © Hazel Brown. All rights reserved.

[18+] COLLEGE ICE HOCKEY ROMANCE *~*~* Conrad Taylor is an asshole - everyone knows that. But when you're the star player of the hockey team, your father is one of the richest men in the country, and you have the looks of a tortured fallen angel, not many people seem to care. He certainly doesn't, not when he's too busy riding around with a visible chip on his shoulder. And boy, are they nice shoulders. *~*~* Sophie Pritchett craves normalcy after a lifetime of self-imposed isolation. With her dad's support and her therapist's gentle encouragement, she finally feels ready to step out into the world - or at least into a shared off-campus apartment with a few strangers. Tentatively, of course. Totally doable, right? Only it's not that easy. The girls aren't for the faint-hearted, and that's exactly what Sophie is. Her struggles with personal boundaries and social settings make it more than obvious that she's weird - and that's not including her strange obsession. When the hockey team starts volunteering at the hospital where Sophie teaches art therapy, she suddenly has the perfect excuse to feed that obsession - one that just happens to have Conrad Taylor written all over it. But when an unlikely friendship begins to form between Sophie, Conrad, and Casey - a witty little boy who's been dealt an unfair hand in life - Sophie learns there's a lot more hidden beneath the rude, sarcastic, and cold exterior of Conrad. Maybe he's just a broken little boy with a heart that feels too much. *~*~* Grumpy/Sunshine - Bad boy/Good girl - hates everyone except her Romance with a Brooke Bennett spin on it😜 Book 2 in the Campus Kings Series, but can be read as a STAND-ALONE. Mature 18+ (Language, content, all that good stuff) Enough character development to turn the devil back into an angel.
