A dual pov, spicy, college romance with an unreliable narrator, found family, complicated family dynamics, an almost stepbrother relationship, light brat/tamer play, exploration of sensuality, and falling headlong into their first, intoxicating love.
On paper, we make no sense: I like plans, she’s pure chaos. I was instructed in etiquette, she doesn’t believe in wearing a bra. I cut my dad out of my life for cheating on my mom, and she’s going to be his stepdaughter.
So why can’t I stay away from her?
To be fair, if I’d known she was my almost stepsister the night I saw her at a party off campus, I would’ve walked the other direction. But I didn’t, which is how we ended up making out in an alley behind 7-Eleven with my hands under her top.
But I definitely knew before I pinned her against my car and had her ride my hand in broad daylight. That one’s on me.
Evander Owens was supposed to go to the party to wingman his roommate, not get sidetracked by a gorgeous woman with bourbon eyes. For Anaya Melnik, celebrating her twenty-first birthday by kissing a hot AF stranger is the perfect present.
One short night together leaves them both greedy for more, until they discover their off campus connection. Not only are their parents together, but their affair is the reason Evan cut all contact with his dad. Loyal to his mother, Evander vows to stay away from Anaya, which might’ve been possible before their roommates started dating.
Anaya loves her new family and, to avoid upsetting them, denies she knows Evander at all. She definitely doesn’t mention that he kisses her breathless at any opportunity.
But as lies stack up over the summer, Evan and Anaya realize they aren’t the only ones keeping secrets, and the truth threatens to break the family ties they’re both clinging to.

Petra is buried in grief, closed off from reality. Only her headphones, boyfriend audios, and vivid imagination make life tolerable. When her fictional lover walks into her real life, she wakes up from her daydreams. She’s tempted by this traveler whose voice is intimately familiar. It’s almost better that he’s only temporary.
Reed, also known as Daddy Knight, hates the life he’s built. He's on the run from it all, when Petra recognizes his voice. His instinct is to slam the door on their connection, until Reed discovers Petra is drowning in trauma of her own. He’s determined to prove their lives amount to more than just tragic histories and bleak futures.
They deserve vibrant joy. Soft touches. Genuine smiles.
But someone from Reed’s past refuses to be left behind. Could befriending Petra put them both in danger?
What readers are saying
about Audiophile
Audiophile is one of the best books I've read this year. It is equal parts heartbreaking, hopeful, adorable, hot, hilarious and emotional. Emerie Hart really dropped this book, making an entrance as a debut author with a bang. I will forever be thinking about this beautiful book and the way that it made me feel from start to finish.
