About the Book

RITA Award-winning author Elia Winters is back: The Roommate Subtext is a seriously spicy roommates-to-lovers romance with a unique, kinky twist!

Scarlet Pimpernel: Are you propositioning me?
Curious Rose: What if I am?

Freelance journalist Maggie St. Claire likes her hot, nerdy roommate Blake and his absurd collection of houseplants. But when she's hired to write an exposΓ© about an enigmatic online kinkster known as The Scarlet Pimpernel, she can't exactly sit next to wholesome Blake while researching her current topic!

Botanist Blake Peabody isn’t the type of guy people expect to be kinky. His double life writing erotica online allows him to satisfy his Dom impulses while protecting his public image. Until the mysterious 'Rose' texts him to explore some new desires. As their chats grow more intimate, his feelings develop for the Sub, even as he grows closer to Maggie.

By day, they navigate their evolving friendship; by night, their alter-egos come out to play. Will the surprise of who they truly are be a welcome oneβ€”or more shocking than their darkest fantasy?

Tropes:

Β· Spicy!
Β· Roommate romance
Β· Friends to lovers
Β· Secret identity
Β· Erotic/kinky alter-ego
Β· Fake dating
Β· Guaranteed HEA

Elia Winters

RITAβ„’ Award-winning author Elia Winters writes geeky, kinky, cozy erotic romance. She is a fat, tattooed, whimsical bisexual who loves petting cats and fighting the patriarchy. Elia holds a Master’s degree in English Literature and teaches at a small rural high school, where she also runs the drama club. She balances her love of words with a love of baking, crafting, and a bottomless well of geekiness; in her spare time, she is equally likely to be found playing tabletop games, kicking at Taekwondo, crocheting, or binge-watching Ted Lasso.

Elia grew up blessed with an artsy, creative, quirky family that nurtured her eccentricities and helped shape her into the woman she is today. She started sneaking her mother’s romance novels when she was way too young for them, and in Catholic high school, kept her friends entertained by writing a steady stream of explicit stories while somehow never getting caught. Now, sex education and kink-positive feminism have become a cornerstone of Elia’s brand, including reviewing sex toys and presenting at kink conventions. She currently lives in western Massachusetts with her loving husband and their spoiled cat.
