[BOOK 1]
"I won't leave" I whisper, and he smiles, "I know, baby" he says softly, and my lips tug upwards
into a smile.
"You're the exception" he continued, his tone tender as he pressed a short, sweet kiss to my forehead.
I didn't know it then, but I started falling in love with Finn Brookes, we were each other's exceptions.

Lily Garcia didn't come to university looking for love-especially not with someone like Finn Brooks. He's charming, infuriating, and a walking complication she doesn't need. But no matter how hard she tries to keep her distance, there's something about him that feels like gravity, pulling her closer with every encounter. Beneath his cocky exterior, she senses the fractures he tries to hide-the same ones she's been running from her entire life.
Finn's been through hell, and love isn't part of the plan. He's good at keeping his walls high, locking out anyone who might get too close. But then Lily shows up, and suddenly his carefully controlled life begins to unravel. She's everything he didn't know he was missing, and that scares him more than he's willing to admit.
But with their pasts threatening to destroy what they could be, and old friends trying to drive a wedge between them, trust becomes their biggest hurdle. And when a new love interest steps into the picture, everything Lily and Finn thought they were building starts to fall apart.
Fighting their demons was never supposed to include each other, but now they have to decide if the risk of heartbreak is worth the reward of finally letting someone in.

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.
