A Life Together: A Slice of Life Contemporary Harem

by Dirk Knight

What is a house husband, but a man who satisfies his women?

At last, what Edward dreamed, but never expected, has become a reality. Valentina, Haley, and Aspen have all invited him into their lives and beds, but now they turn their attention toward the future. Sure, this situation is fun, but how long can it last?

How long do they want it to last?

Valentina makes a new furry friend, Aspen goes viral, and Haley begins questioning a lot more than just her love life. Weeks of long hours have led her to rethink her career choices, and it may just be time to take her future into her own hands.

Now more than ever, Edward wants to prove himself. As a butler, as a boyfriend, and perhaps as even more.

He’ll show them that he can handle three women, and not just for a week or a month.

For a lifetime.

About the author

Dirk Knight lives in Phoenix with his wife and two daughters, and works in sales. Dirk is now devoting himself to his passion after having spent a great number of years in and out of recovery and addiction. Dirk studied English, journalism and creative writing in college, but never pursued his literary goals due to his addictions and other restrictions.


"I started writing for myself, to satisfy urges and entertain my curiosities. I wanted to know how many of us think the way I do. I have lived in the most depressing and joyful situations. I have starved and lived in cars, I have also had more money than I could spend and had gifts that brought me exquisite joy. From my vantage point, humans are the most unpredictable, astonishing, hateful and sacrificing creatures. I want to understand us (humanity) better and, for me, understanding of humanity... my humanity... comes from writing fiction, and examining what people might do when they feel no one is watching, what people are capable of (horrible and great), and imaging how seemingly normal people would react if they had exhausted the rational (and sometimes irrational) options. I hope you will join me in my quest to reveal the darkest and brightest aspects of human nature...what will we do when the lights are out?"

Household Husband

I really enjoyed this storyline, and I was eager for more from these shorts. I do understand that they were shorts but there was more that could have been done to enhance or draw out these stories.

Good to the end

Great fantasy. Fine writing throughout and, or editing. Hot series about a trained butler finding himself in a house with three gorgeous, obviously, women. Recommended all the way.

interesting and a good read

I wasn’t convinced this would be my piece of pie, but surprisingly, it’s turned out to be entertaining, and I like it, and hope the next book comes out quickly
