From #1 New York Times–bestselling author Julie Murphy comes the first book in THE UNDERGRADS trilogy, a sexy rom com about a college marriage of convenience that goes way beyond chemistry 101. . .

Clover Rowan Walsh knows The Plan™; Get a full ride to her dream school, rule the school of business with an iron fist, and say goodbye to the paycheck-to-paycheck life she and her mom have known for years.

But when her housing scholarship collapses, she finds one desperate loophole – married students can share a dorm for the cost of one.

Enter Bennet Graves, heir to Graves Coffee and the boy who broke her heart. Clover’s proposal shocks them both, yet Bennet can’t say no.

Pretending to be newlyweds should be simple…except they can’t stop fighting – or flirting.

As Clover and Bennett hide the true nature of their marriage, they find that playing house isn’t all that bad – especially with certain marital benefits in the mix. Soon, they're forgetting the most important part of their marriage of convenience . . . that it’s supposed to be fake.

About the author

Julie Murphy

Julie Murphy has this to say about herself... I love pocket change, but I like to keep it in a jar, and not in my pocket. When I was little, I was on a bowling league. Moxie is my favorite word. If I won the lottery, the first thing I would buy would be a photo booth. I like outerspace. I believe in karma. I'm terrified of cicadas. I love school. I don't pick up my house phone. I like getting mail. I'm the funniest person you know. 2+2=5. I live in Texas with my husband who loves me, my dog who adores me, and my cat who tolerates me. Baseball aficionado. Professional potty mouth obsessed with movie trailers. And movies, too. And books. DUH. Let's be friends. Her first book Side Affects May Vary was published in 2014.

Praise for Student Union

This is one addictively swoony book. At this point, I’m convinced Julie Murphy is personally trying to sweep me off my feet!

Ali Hazelwood, #1 New York Times bestselling author

Come for the bratty rich boy with a good-girl kink, stay for the post-sex midnight grilled cheese. I fell for this messy, horny, delightful book at page one but didn’t realize it was true love until the Joe Pesci strip tease. Now I will never be the same. There’s only one thing left to do—Julie Murphy, will you marry me?

Ashley Poston, New York Times bestselling author of The Seven Year Slip

Julie Murphy proves she’s at the top of her class! She aces the assignment, with a story so charming it deserves extra credit.

No objections, but I will not hold my peace?Student Union is exactly what I want in a fake marriage plot. Julie Murphy reached into my soul and gave me just what I needed.

Julie Soto, #1 New York Times bestselling author

Julie Murphy casts her magic spell yet again! No idea how she can make something this fun and sexy—a veritable trope-a-palooza—feel so grounded and real and unique, but that’s why she’s in a class of her own. A+!

Julie Murphy writes bold, big-hearted stories that are unforgettable, and Student Union is no exception. 10/10, no notes.
