The Tenant — Sotia Lazu

The Tenant

In hopes of getting her fiancé to consummate their relationship before the wedding, Amanda convinces him they should check out the apartment her father gave her as a gift for their upcoming nuptials. Darkness and privacy are supposed to work in her favor, but there is one parameter she doesn't know about: the apartment is not empty yet, and the current tenant has no plans of moving.

Derek has had a hell of a few months. His girlfriend turned out to be a cheater and then stole his restaurant. He's not about to also give up the place he's called home for three years -- even if his hot but infuriating landlady threatens to move in by the end of the week.

When Amanda's lease is up and her fiancé is caught with a half-naked woman, she and Derek need to find a way to survive their forced cohabitation. And sleeping with the enemy can be fun.

BONUS SHORT STORY: Furry Christmas

Alice has hated Christmas for a decade, and this year is no exception. She's spending the holidays alone with her best friend's cat, while everyone she knows is out partying. To add to the fun, a huge stray dog just made a mess of her parents' living room, and her dreams are haunted by the sexy stranger she slept with almost six months ago.

Quinn wasn't always a dog. At least that's what he thinks, but he can't be certain, because the killer migraines kick in. All he's sure of is he knows Alice. And he's running out of time.
