When wealthy, lonely divorcée Cynthia Ryan takes an interest in him and offers him her guest house, Braxton discovers that generosity comes with unexpected benefits.

I can’t say for sure that I adopted my rescue dog so I had an excuse to see Bettie at the dog park again. But if I’m being honest with you, or myself, that was definitely part of the reason I did.

When the opportunity to show her what's been right in front of her this whole time presents itself, I take it, holding nothing back this time.

Life sucks. Gabe Harris has been clued into this fact for a long time now. In his mid-twenties, life has been nothing but low paying jobs, petty power-tripping bosses, and the worst roommates mankind has to offer. Bills, debt, and misery have haunted him for his entire adult life and, to make matters worse, it feels like his dream of being a writer is dead on arrival. One fateful night, he decides to take control of his life and make his dream a reality.

Chris Wright has one shot at his dream. After years of late nights and countless revisions, an agent finally takes notice of Chris’s novel—but with one catch: he has a tight deadline to deliver a major rewrite.

After months of flirtatious teasing, Gabe suddenly finds himself in the presence of Krystal, the tatted redheaded goddess. Making the drive down, she has thrown herself into his life, thrilled to have some fun and relaxation. Only it's not that simple, because it's never that simple. Fun and carefree as Krystal appears, Gabe (and Ellen) suspect that her and her tomboy girlfriend Liz are testing the waters for a relationship. Not that they particularly mind.

Everything is changing for Gabe. His writing career is seeing some traction, his relationships are blossoming, and the time has come to move to a new, bigger house. Krystal and Liz are ready to commit to a new life living with and dating him. But Gabe was never under the impression that loving five women simultaneously was ever going to be easy.

In a few short weeks, Gabe's life has changed completely. He went from working nightmare jobs and living with awful roommates to a small studio apartment that was intended to be all his own to renting a house on a quiet street and sharing it with the woman of his dreams as he began to seriously pursue his ideal job. But the changes are far from over. Gabe now finds himself in the company of a staggeringly attractive redhead, Holly. For all her beauty, she is shy, awkward, and at just as unhappy a place in her life as he was not all that long ago.

Gabe's life is still changing. He can no longer claim that it sucks, but it is busier than ever before. Between balancing his relationships with Ellen and Holly, trying to get a writing career off the ground, and learning what it means to have the affection of a seductive tattooed beauty and a shy cougar, he can hardly seem to find a minute to himself. Not that he's complaining. Only now it's about to get even more complicated. Chloe, a goth gamer girl, is looking to get involved with the rather unconventional household he now heads up...

Braxton Smith has settled into a life he never expected. Living in Cynthia Ryan's guest house in Oyster Bay, he's found love, stability, and belonging with three extraordinary women: Cynthia, the generous divorcée who took him in; Lori Johansen, the quiet widow next door; and Rachel Adams, the sharp-tongued firecracker who crashed into his world with no apologies. But the comfortable equilibrium they've built is about to be tested, because word travels fast in a place like the Straitford Country Club, and Braxton's unconventional arrangement can't stay a secret forever.
