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.

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...

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.

I thought my life was full with two beautiful, amazing women to love. Adding Meredith to our family has grown things in ways I could never have expected. But Meredith’s needs are not the same as Lexie’s and Olivia’s, and when I’m given a chance to advance my career by moving to a prominent venture capital firm led by one of the city’s most interesting investors, I know I need to accept. Yet doing so brings me into a world I may not be ready for, and it takes me into the orbit of a young woman who’s like no one I’ve ever met.

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.

After a decade as a single dad, I thought I had life figured out. I put my broken heart on the shelf to raise my daughter Maddie, and watching her grow into a confident, successful woman has been reward enough. Still, life has a way of throwing curves at you—the kind of curves that will get any guy’s attention. When Maddie’s best friends Lexie and Olivia find themselves homeless after losing their apartment, there’s no question I’m going to offer them refuge. They were there for Maddie during our darkest hours, and it’s my turn to be there for them now.
