An unexpected inheritance. A mysterious manor. And the world’s most terrifying HOA.
When recent grad Mathias Mandrake inherits a distant relative’s mansion, he expects creaky floors and cobwebs—not cryptic rules, arcane secrets, and the sudden need for roommates. Thankfully, his best friend Frankie jumps at the chance to leave hookup culture behind for something more domestic (and dilf-adjacent). Rounding out their new household is August, a soft-spoken writer with big dreams and a growing fondness for the chaos that is Mat and Frankie.
But Mandrake Manor holds more than charming oddities. With magic humming beneath the floorboards and an HOA that might actually be homicidal, the trio must stick together—or risk losing everything.
Good thing they’re not just building a home. They’re building a family.
And this house? It’s very much alive.
