Description
- 18+ only please - includes graphic menage sexual content and language
If love doesn’t follow the rules, why should they?
Five years is a long time to love someone from a distance.
But I’ve finally finished my degree, broken free from my Kentucky momma and her pageant dreams, and moved to Chicago to be with my soulmate.
Step one: move in and make up for lost time with Darius. Intimately.
Step two: land my dream job and start fresh.
Easy enough… until my mom starts scheming to drag me home and slap a crown back on my head.
And then there’s Arlo—Darius’s best friend and frustratingly hot roommate. He’s moody, brash, and impossible to ignore.
When I find out he and Darius have shared women before, everything shifts.
I shouldn’t want both of them.
Good girls don’t get tangled in fantasies that include two men. They don't wonder, what if.
They definitely don’t tempt a man like Arlo…
Right?
