Temptation lies behind mansion doors…

Actress Ivy clings to her scandalous on-screen persona as a shield against her grief and guilt. Only billionaire Ethan ever enticed her to let down her guard—an unrepeatable disaster.

Until her late godmother’s will requires her to live temporarily with the man she pushed away!

Every charged glance says Ethan’s neither forgiven nor forgotten her… And he still has an uncanny ability to see through her pain.

Can Ivy fight their magnetism again? Or should she call a truce—by laying her heart bare?

Enemies Under One Roof is a standalone title that reunites a formerly engaged couple when they must fulfill a deceased loved one’s final request.  It won’t be easy for Ivy (Annie) or Ethan, as they must live together in the same mansion at Ruby’s request… but they really have no choice.  Ruby was the glue, the woman they both loved deeply for various reasons; to deny this last request would be like slapping Ruby in the face, so they’ll deal, and leave wholehearted, but grieving at the end of this enforced time.  Or will they?  Because the memories, the past that still lingers between them, are about to come back full force… and this time they’ll need to face their own demons before that happy ending they deserve can become a reality.

I enjoyed Ivy and Ethan’s romance.  It’s well-written, engaging, and so emotional as this couple tackles not only their grief for Ruby, but their pasts as well.  They both have very real issues to be dealt with before happiness in general or a life together can be possible.  Following their journey to happiness was enjoyable.  If you like an intense romance with deep issues facing the couple, then you will enjoy Enemies Under One Roof.
