At Crestmore College, Beta House carries on a secret tradition: every semester, five men select one woman to serve as their housegirl—room and board in exchange for availability, in every sense of the word. When Arianna Wallace, the campus queen and ex-girlfriend of the star quarterback, shocks everyone by claiming the role, she sets off a scandal that changes all their lives. What starts as revenge turns into something deeper, as Arianna discovers freedom in surrender, power in desire, and the thrill of managing five very different men who each want a piece of her.

Crestmore College’s most notorious tradition lives at Beta House, an annex of the Alpha Beta Omega fraternity where, every semester, five men select one woman to serve as their housegirl. Room and board in exchange for availability—domestic and sexual. It’s the kind of arrangement that runs on rumor and whispers, not official records. This year, the house expected the usual desperate applicant. Instead, Arianna Wallace walked through the door. Former homecoming queen. Ex-girlfriend of Jake Hunter, Crestmore’s star quarterback.

The fall semester at Crestmore College erupted into chaos. Arianna Wallace, the most talked-about woman on campus, had not only claimed the role of housegirl at Beta House but also cemented it as the most infamous tradition in school history. She lived naked under the roof of five men, answering only to their rules, and for months she thrived. But Homecoming weekend tore the balance apart, and Lucas, the senior who had anchored the house with his authority, walked away.

Beta House had survived the impossible. Two women under one roof. Four men barely holding on to sanity, order, and grades. Arianna Wallace had made sure of that. She’d taken what began as a scandal and turned it into a system, bending rules and rewriting them until everyone in the house followed her rhythm, whether they meant to or not.

When the house loses two men, the real power struggle begins. With Marshall and Brett gone, Beta House stands on uncertain ground. Arianna Wallace—the woman who built its rules and ran its games—faces a new challenge: herself. Sydney and Ella, no longer content to orbit her, invite another girl, Brooke Sheffield, whose calm intelligence masks an appetite for disruption. When the girls urge Ethan to finally take control as the house’s de facto owner, Arianna shocks everyone by agreeing to yield. But submission isn’t simple. It’s strategic.
