Calista was deceived by someone she thought was her "boyfriend," losing all her savings and getting kicked out by her landlord. 
Now homeless in a city far from home with no one to turn to, she unexpectedly finds shelter in a shared apartment with three men- Zane, Cedric, and Draven. Not only do they offer Calista a fresh start, but they also bring her into a web of temptation and mystery.
Calista's journey is an emotional rollercoaster as she navigates the complexities of her new living situation while struggling to overcome the pain of betrayal. As she attempts to rebuild her life, she finds herself drawn to the lives of her roommates, each offering a different kind of allure.
Zane: "You're a sweet girl, Calista." 
Cedric: "You're making me more intrigued, Calista." 
Draven: "You're the first person who made me smile, Calista."
Amid the chaos of her new reality, Calista can't shake the feeling that she's a pawn in a game she doesn't fully understand. Has she stepped from one deceit into another? Can she trust the men she now calls her roommates?

Tempted by My Bestfriend's Brother and His Roommates

　　I grew up in a household where perfection was the standard. My father, a perfectionist man with a relentless drive for excellence, instilled in me the ethos of self-reliance from a young age. Chess matches were our battleground.


　　"You're destined for leadership, Draven," he would say, his gaze always serious as he scrutinized my every move on the chessboard. "Leaders don't show weakness."


　　I absorbed his words like a mantra, determined to live up to his expectations. Winning wasn't handed to me; it was earned through sheer grit and intellect. "I don't want you to rely on anyone else to succeed," he emphasized. "You must be first on your own merits, without dependency. That's how you'll make us proud."
