He swore an oath to hate me... but then we fell in love.

For generations, the Capuletis and Montgomerys have been at war, and Rome has never let me forget it. Not until an anonymous pen pal assignment during our senior year has us breaking every damn rule set in place.

But my illicit affair with the tattooed billionaire I’ve hated my entire life ends as quickly as it began, and Rome and I return to being enemies once more.

Now, years later, I’ve done my best to avoid him, except for those unavoidable social gatherings, where we continue to taunt each other with relentless jabs and unnecessary pranks. But when one of my ‘jokes’ goes a step too far and nearly destroys Rome’s reputation, he demands payment from me in a way I never expect.
When the time comes for him to collect, he’s dragging me right back to where it all started between us—within the same four walls.

Unfortunately for me, these walls are haunted, and I can’t look at or exist around him without slipping back into our old ways.

For reasons I can’t understand, he makes me feel it all: passion, love… hate.

Just like our families before us, Rome and I were born to despise one another.

But is my hate true… or is it all a lie I tell myself to keep from falling back in love with the enemy?
