When they were twelve, Michael built a tree house-a quiet sanctuary where he could escape the world. Then came Elise. What started with an accidental meeting soon turned the little tree house into their haven place and made a promise that would change everything. Whoever got married first gets the tree house. It was a ridiculous promise. A childish one. Years later, Michael is chasing the biggest dream of his life, building a career that leaves little room for anything permanent, except a long list of women who never seem to stay. Elise, on the other hand, is ready to settle down. She's dating a man who's only one ring away from making the promise come true. What begins as a harmless competition, slowly unravels years of unspoken feelings, almost-confessions, and the terrifying realization that maybe the person they've been searching for has been standing beside them all along. Because sometimes, your one true love isn't about finding someone new. It's about finally seeing the one who's been there since the beginning.

Indya and Michael are united by the same betrayal-their exes didn't just cheat. They chose each other. Anger turns to impulse, and impulse turns into a dangerous agreement: use each other to get even. No rules. No feelings. Just bodies colliding to dull the humiliation. But revenge doesn't stay shallow for long. What's meant to be physical cuts deeper than expected. With Michael, Indya feels grounded and undone all at once. The nights are charged, the connection undeniable, and she starts to want what she swore she wouldn't-something real. Michael feels it too, and it terrifies him. Love has only ever taken from him, and when emotion threatens to take hold, he retreats into the shadows he knows best. Because desire is easy. Intimacy is not. Pulled back together by a bond neither can escape, they're forced to confront the truth: this was never just about revenge. It was about loneliness. About damage. About the kind of passion that doesn't burn out-it burrows in. Sometime love doesn't save you. It exposes you. And if they aren't careful, it might destroy them both.
