Novel & Cerita The American Roommate Experiment

I thought sleeping with my roommate was my biggest mistake. I was wrong. Diane moved in with Jason to save money, not to fall for him. He’s private, infuriatingly perceptive, and impossible to ignore. The kind of man who looks at her like he already knows every secret she’s trying to hide. Then one argument changes everything. Jason isn’t just her roommate. He’s a powerful billionaire with a past she never saw coming. And somehow, there’s a legally binding marriage contract with her name on it. Diane swears she would never marry a stranger. So why does the paperwork say she already did? Now she’s trapped between betrayal and desire, truth and deception. Because the man she’s furious with is also the only man who makes her feel alive. But Diane has a choice: walk away and fight to undo the contract or stay married to the one man who makes her feel things she swore she’d never risk again. And the most terrifying part? She’s not sure she wants out.

My boyfriend, Blake Finch, has passed out drunk on the bed. All I hear is his loud snores. But his roommate, Dylan Olson, begins to scoot closer to me. I can feel scorching heat rolling off his body. "Giselle, what should we do now that Blake is asleep?" A mix of embarrassment and a quiet thrill shoots through my veins, making my throat go dry. "No… Ah… Don't do this… He's going to wake up…" As soon as my voice falls, I feel a hand rest on my butt. Soon, it starts groping me.

Jaxon Carter has everything a man could want—talent, fame, and a multimillion-dollar contract with the Titans almost within his grasp. The only problem? His reckless lifestyle stands between him and the contract. But his agency has told him that he can salvage the contract by cleaning up his image. Sienna Blake has two things in life she held dear —her ballet career and her house she grew up creating memories in. But when the bank forecloses her house and her ballet career barely covers her bills, she turns to her agency, only to be coldly rejected. When their paths cross at the agency, Jax sees an opportunity. She needs money. He needs stability. The solution? A fake relationship. He offers to clear her debts in exchange for playing the perfect doting girlfriend—just long enough it's beneficial to them. But what starts as a transaction soon spirals into something neither of them expected. Public appearances turn into stolen moments and close proximate intimacy blurs into something more. They find themselves trapped in a dangerous game—one where the greatest risk isn’t losing a contract or a house… but losing their hearts. And just when Sienna is ready to confess the biggest secret of all, Jax's past comes haunting them. Hurt and betrayed, she walks away without a second glance, choosing to protect her heart and her unborn child. Will Jax fight for what they had? Will he risk everything—including his career—to fight for the only thing that ever truly mattered?

Theo Pearson has one week to move out or stay trapped under the roof of his sister’s cheating husband. He’s a broke, recessive Omega who’s desperate enough to cling to a stranger's leg in the middle of the street. Somehow, his strategy works and he ends up with Lorcan Armoni—a high-strung, antisocial office worker who just wanted a quiet roommate to help maintain his "normal person" cover—or so Theo thinks. To Theo, Lorcan is just a grumpy Beta. To Lorcan, Theo is just a harmless, but annoying roommate to use as a cover. But when suppressed pheromones start to leak and "roommate rules" begin to break, the truth comes out. Living with a stranger was supposed to be easy, but what happens when Theo realizes he’s sharing an apartment with the city’s most powerful Dominant Alpha?

One night, as I was making my way to the bathroom around 3 a.m., I saw my dormmate, Yvonne, squatting in front of our door. She was rearranging all our shoes so that their tips were pointed inward. I thought it was funny, so I rearranged them to have their tips pointed outward. The next day, I found that all of them had been positioned inward again. This kept happening for a week, and I continued to scramble things up, hiding the shoes, even, or tying the shoelaces together. But they always ended up being repositioned neatly inward. I started observing my dormmate and found her mumbling to the shoes while squatting at the door. I ranted about it online, only to have my first reply send chills down my spine. [Do you also get the weird feeling that something paranormal is happening around you? You have to move out before it’s too late!]

Nova Greyveil was born to lead her pack, and to prove it, she beat every fighter her father threw at her, only to be told her future is a marriage deal she never agreed to: Marry the Alpha King. So she rejected him and disappeared. Disguised as “Ash Darvin", she sneaks into Vordrak Academy, a ruthless all-male training ground where alphas are built, broken, and buried. One slip means exposure. Exposure means death. She thought surviving Vordrak would be the hard part. Then she meets Caden Voss. Cold. Precise. Dangerous. The academy’s strongest fighter and the only one who keeps looking at her like he can see straight through the mask she’s wearing and to top it off, he is her roommate. The longer she stays, the harder it gets to hide. Not just her identity, but what his presence is doing to her. Because in Vordrak, secrets don’t stay hidden. And neither does desire.

One world, Two sworn enemies. Countless secrets laced with undeniable tension. Senior year was supposed to change my life—but then I got stuck with the one person who could either ruin my life for the worst or bring out a part of me I never knew existed, being the reason I’d never be the same again. Jayden Sinclair. Arrogant. Infuriating. Insufferably attractive. Everything about him gets under my skin, even the way he breathes, and now what? We have to be dorm mates. Every argument felt like a battle. Every glance lasted a second too long. Somewhere between sarcasm, stolen moments, and secrets neither of us dared to confess, I made the biggest mistake of my life… I fell for him. Then he left. No explanation. No goodbye. Just a broken promise and a heart I swore I’d never let him touch again. Years later, fate throws us back into each other’s lives but not as roommates, but as business rivals. The hatred between us burns hotter than ever, but so does everything we never managed to bury. They say first love never dies but I wish mine had.

I'm a cheapskate, so I decide to rent a haunted apartment at a low price. On the first night of moving into said apartment, the taps turn on by themselves. I yell angrily at the empty apartment, "You'd better pay the water bill, then!" The water stops flowing immediately. It has me thinking that this is the beginning of a long, arduous battle between humans and the supernatural… Unexpectedly, I see a piping hot meal on the dining table the next day.

I hate jocks. Which is ironic considering my roommate is Northford University’s hockey captain. When I applied to NORTHFORD, I never thought I’d actually get in. Only five athletic scholarships are awarded each year, and somehow, against all odds, one of them went to me... Aurora Chen, figure skater, scholarship student. On my very first night on campus, I discover three things: One; housing accidentally assigned me a male roommate. Two; said roommate is Jayden. Campus hockey god. Arrogant menace. Human headache. And three? My boyfriend is cheating on me. In front of an entire hockey house. Before I can even process the humiliation, Jayden grabs me and kisses me. Now there’s a viral video circulating across campus, the athletic department is questioning our conduct, and both our scholarships are suddenly on the line. The only solution? Fake date each other until the scandal dies down. Did I mention that I hate jocks?

My roommate had a strange obsession with taking cold showers on the balcony. She claimed it helped detox her body and brightened her skin. I warned her, “You should be more mindful of your privacy.” However, she only laughed, accusing me of being jealous of her flawless figure. Then, disaster struck. Her shower photos were leaked online, and soon after, thugs showed up at our door, demanding to humiliate her. Instead of taking responsibility, she turned on me. “It’s her! She’s the shameless one showering on the balcony!” Betrayed and defenseless, I was dragged into the woods and left to die, my life snuffed out in humiliation and pain. But when I opened my eyes again, I was back on that fateful day—the day my roommate took her first cold shower on the balcony.
