More details to this question:
My girlfriend currently lives in the UK and I am a US citizen. We have booked a flight for myself to fly to the UK and bring her here on her passport. Is there any way she can live in my home while we get her a green card and eventually citizenship?

Not unless you marry her.

She can qualify for a green card only through marriage to you unless it is through employment from a US employer.

You can invite her to visit and then propose after she enters U.S. Then wait a month to get married so it doesn't look too planned. Then you can file for the green card! Please consult with an experienced immigration lawyer before making any travel plans.

Yes, that's all possible. If she comes here for a visit, and you all decide to marry once she's here with you, and you're a USA citizen and she's not inadmissible, then surely you can file and she can stay.
