Roommates, hookups, friends, idiots. What could possibly go wrong?
Emory Storey is a strong, independent college student, if a bit directionless and surly. The last thing she needs is a relationship-platonic, romantic, or otherwise.
Too bad she's stuck in a roommate agreement with Sebastian Rees, a devastatingly attractive fifth year senior with more abs than ambition.
Their single hookup over a year ago was a mistake not so easily forgotten.
They've both-silently and separately-agreed to keep their distance. Not an easy task when Emory can't stop thinking about the taste of his mouth. Or what his body feels like pressed to hers.
When a rogue winter storm traps them together with no power or heat for days, they're forced to confront their one time together. . . and come out on the other side in a roommates-with-benefits arrangement, a complication Emory finds impossible to resist.
What was supposed to be no strings sex quickly morphs into late night gaming, inside jokes, and wing eating contests. . . and something that feels suspiciously like real friendship and real feelings.
But someone else is jealous. Someone else wants Emory.
Someone who may not take no for an answer. . . forcing Emory to take a stand if she wants to claim her happy ending.
Trouble With the Truth is chronologically the third book in the Penn Warren University series but can be enjoyed as a standalone. It is intended for mature readers.
