Samantha Parker has the perfect house, the perfect fiancé, and the perfect morning meltdown over her hair. But when a dangerously attractive 22-year-old college guy moves in next door-with muscles, charm, and a box labeled "BEDROOM"-her suburban routine gets a jolt of chaos she didn't see coming. Caught between polite laughs with her boring-but-safe fiancé and wine-fueled stakeouts behind rose bushes, Samantha suddenly finds herself playing with fire... and maybe enjoying the burn.
This is a flirty, fast-paced romantic comedy where adulthood, attraction, and iced coffee collide-with unicorn slippers and scandalous side-eye.

It's a Monday. The kind of Monday where the sun shines too brightly, like it knows something the rest of the world doesn't. Birds chirp like they've had six espresso shots. And in the idyllic suburban maze of Maplewood, California-where every lawn is trimmed with military precision and every mailbox has been wiped of dust-Samantha Parker is having a crisis.
A hair crisis.
"No, no, no! I said volume, Carla. Not vertical assault," Samantha barks at her reflection. Her long honey-blonde hair stands in chaotic tufts around her head like she just fought a leaf blower. She frowns, grabs the curling wand with the fury of a woman on the brink, and attacks her hair like it owes her money.
Samantha is 28. Tall. Thick and curvy with a very fat bubbly butt and a very well shaped defined hips. The kind of beautiful that makes strangers wonder if she's an influencer. Sharp cheekbones, full lips, eyes the color of stormy lakes-dark gray, with secrets floating beneath the surface. She's dressed in a silk robe and fuzzy unicorn slippers that do not match the manicured perfection of her home.
A house so white and polished it looks like it was grown in a lab. French windows. Porcelain floors. Candles she never lights. A wine rack she's already attacked twice this week-and it's only Monday morning...
After five years of a loveless marriage, walking in on my husband 𝙛𝙪𝙘𝙠𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙨𝙚𝙘𝙧𝙚𝙩𝙖𝙧𝙮 wasn't on my to-do list.
I should have expected him to be seeing someone with all the "late nights" at work, but to fuck her in our own bed?
But instead of crying and getting into a yelling match with him, I decided to hear him out.
𝘼𝙣 𝙤𝙥𝙚𝙣 𝙧𝙚𝙡𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙨𝙝𝙞𝙥 was what he called it, but we all know what that means.
So I agreed, because if he was going to get to fuck his secretary, then you sure as hell bet that the next person I sleep with was his boss.
