The Roommate Rules: A Hate to Love Small Town Romance (Steele Brothers of Starlight Cove, Book 4)

Starlight Cove's most uptight librarian and its most infuriating bad boy are about to share a roof—and absolutely nothing is going according to plan.

Penelope Shea has spent years perfecting two things: her spotless reputation and her intense dislike of Declan Steele. The motorcycle-riding, rule-breaking menace has been a thorn in her carefully organized side for as long as she can remember. So when the town's nosiest matchmaker strong-arms them both into an impossible ultimatum—five hundred hours of community service or thirty days of cohabitation—Penelope picks the option that keeps her record clean. Thirty days. Four walls. One very inconvenient grump with a jawline that should be illegal.

Declan agrees immediately, because watching buttoned-up Penelope Shea lose her composure is the most entertainment Starlight Cove has offered in years. What he doesn't expect is to discover her secret: beneath the cardigans and late fees lies an anonymous author of scorching romance novels, complete with a handwritten list of very intimate experiences she's determined to research firsthand.

What starts as a reluctant arrangement of "instructional sessions" quickly becomes something neither of them can explain away. Declan is supposed to be her research. Penelope is supposed to be his entertainment. Neither is supposed to feel this much.

But thirty days has a way of rewriting every rule you thought you lived by—especially when the person breaking them down is the one you swore you'd never want.
