The Roommate Rules Special Edition: Special Edition Discreet Cover (Steele Brothers of Starlight Cove)

Starlight Cove's most infamous rivalry is about to get a lot more complicated — and a whole lot hotter.

Penelope Shea has two secrets she guards carefully: her barely contained irritation with infuriating bad-boy Declan Steele, and the pen name behind a wildly successful series of steamy romance novels. As the town's quietly composed librarian, she has crafted countless scenes of breathless passion — she just hasn't lived any of them. Declan, meanwhile, has spent years perfecting the art of getting under Penelope's skin, treating their small-town feud like his personal sport of choice.

When a community service sentence lands them as reluctant roommates, both assume it's a temporary inconvenience. Then Declan stumbles across Penelope's secret life as an anonymous erotica author, and their entire dynamic shifts. Because Penelope doesn't just write about sinful experiences — she wants to actually have them. And in a moment of bold, breathtaking desperation, she asks the one man she's always despised to teach her everything she's been missing.

What follows is a series of lessons neither of them expected — ones that peel back every layer of animosity and expose something far more dangerous than hatred beneath. Brighton Walsh delivers a slow-burn contemporary romance set against the charming backdrop of Starlight Cove, where the line between enemies and lovers was never as firm as Penelope and Declan pretended.

Once the rules change, there's no going back — and neither of them wants to.
