Roomhate by Penelope Ward

Years after getting her heartbroken by Jason, Amelia is shocked to be sharing a summer house with him. Despite hating each other’s guts, the two can’t deny the spark in this addictive slow-burn romance for readers of Ali Hazelwood and Christina Lauren.

From New York Times bestselling author Penelope Ward comes a steamy, slow-burn, enemies-to-lovers, forced proximity, second-chance contemporary romance.

Amelia hasn't seen her childhood best friend Justin since she broke his heart as a teenager, but when she arrives at the beach house her grandmother left to both of them, she finds Justin staying there too…and he hates her guts.

Sharing a summer house with a hot-as-hell roommate should be a dream come true, right?

Not when it's Justin Banks, Amelia's former best friend and the only man she's ever loved…who now hates her.

When Amelia's grandmother died and left her half of her beach house on Aquidneck Island, there was a catch: the other half would go to the boy she helped raise. The same boy who turned into the teenager whose heart Amelia broke years ago. The same teenager who's now a man with a hard body and a hard-ass personality to match.

Amelia hasn't seen Justin in years, but neither one is willing to give up the house—which means they're living together, at least for the summer.

The worst part? Justin didn't come alone.

But there's a very thin line between love and hate. And beneath Justin's sharp edges, the boy she knew is still there, and so is their connection.

The problem is, now that Amelia can't have Justin, she's never wanted him more.
