Falling for my childhood enemy was never the plan—especially not after he got hit by a car, lost his memory, and let me move in to 'help him recover.' But Carter Evans, my rival-turned-roommate, isn’t just playing the amnesiac—he’s playing me, and suddenly, I’m tangled in a game of cat theft, fake relationships, and dangerously real feelings. With our meddling parents plotting a wedding and my bestie giving disastrous advice, one thing’s clear: if I don’t win over Carter (and his cat), I might just lose my heart. Will I finally outsmart my nemesis—or has he been waiting for me to fall all along?
Melissa’s only comfort—her empathy doll—goes missing, stolen by her childhood nemesis Derek, reopening old wounds and forbidden desires. As their tangled past resurfaces, Melissa is forced to confront betrayal, family ruin, and a love she’s tried to bury. But when secrets and shame push her to the edge, one violent act will change everything forever.
