Description
Two ex-step-siblings. One house. Zero chill.
Archie Forsythe has two weeks left in the South Bay beach house his father gifted him—before demanding it back as part of a very messy divorce settlement. The plan? Stall the paperwork, stay under the radar, and figure out how to finally launch his surfwear brand without Dad’s money, approval, or interference.
The problem? Piper Quinn. His ex-step-sister. Current pain in his...neck. And—thanks to a surprise legal twist—the house's new co-occupant.
Piper has no interest in rekindling anything with the Forsythe family… especially not with Archie, who spent her teenage years treating her like a walking cringe compilation. But with no money, no apartment, and a prestigious fashion internship starting in three days, she’s not about to give up a free oceanfront address—no matter who else is living there.
Now, they're locked in a battle of wills and passive-aggressive pranks. He hides her coffee. She hides his towels. They both insist the other should leave. But as the days pass, and the tension rises, the real question is:
What happens when your worst roommate becomes your unexpected weakness?
A sweet, enemies-to-lovers romantic comedy with forced proximity, hilarious pranks, and crackling tension. Perfect for fans of The Roommate Situation by Katie Bailey, The Love Wager by Lynn Painter, and Practice Makes Perfect by Sarah Adams.

Amazon Reiew:
5.0 out of 5 stars Hilariously swoony!!!
Oh my word, I don't think I stopped smiling or laughing through this entire book! I knew I would love it from the first moment Archie and Piper were on page together. The EPIC prank war was eclipsed only by the flirty tension between the two of them. And don't let the fact that they are ex-step siblings scare you away! They are NOT related at all and never even lived in the same house.
Though Piper does remember Archie being a jerk enough that she starts a prank war and I seriously laughed out loud so many times. The shampoo? The towels? I could not get enough! Especially as the two begin to realize they both made a lot of false assumptions about the other and all that flirty attraction grows. The sequence of events as they fall for each other was PERFECT and oh, that first kiss was absolutely worth the wait!!!
I love how Brittany can weave storylines with emotional depth about social injustices or toxic relationships into the story without overshadowing the main plot between Archie and Piper or taking away from the lighthearted moments. It all blended together so well and I was left with all the happy sighs from this captivating and unputdownable summer romance!
Goodreads Review:
This is great! I love Britta & the beach boy, so loved getting more of them through this book. Piper and Archie at war with each was highly enjoyable! I loved the breakaway from toxic relationships. I want to get to know all the side characters because each one has a story that I need to know how it ends! Oh and I love reading a book that I can hear the voices
in my head, Archie and his slang was great, yeah nah 🤣 and my hometown footy team got a shout out, go Cats!
Bookbub Review:
Archie and Piper - who knew? I truly loved all that Piper stands for! She's come from a privileged lifestyle, and yet her designs utilize waste and are inspired from the underclass of Japan. She knows what it takes to work hard and knows that the house her mom got in the divorce is such a blessing in this moment of her life - when she has an amazing internship. Archie is the epitome of privilege. Now daddy is about to cut him off. The house is his only leverage. What fun to read this book! Archie and Piper's 'prank war' was priceless. I enjoyed their friends, work, house, beach, coffee, everything about this book. Brittany Larsen makes her settings real life even in a romance novel. Great read!
