Toxic Chemistry Meets Real Feelings
He's the golden boy with a trust fund and a challenge complex.
She's the ambitious girl who keeps her heart locked down.
They just got spectacularly dumped.
Kingston Hartley doesn't do real. Lennox Ashby doesn't do messy.
When a humiliating weekend leaves them both single and scorned, they form a cynical truce. What starts as a series of bourbon-fueled, exclusive party nights to soothe bruised egos quickly becomes something sharper, deeper, and completely unexpected: a true, messy friendship.
But when trauma-bonding turns into undeniable attraction, they face their biggest challenge yet: Honesty.
They see the tricks in each other because they use the same ones. Falling for the one person who truly knows you means tearing down the walls you spent a lifetime building.
Can two commitment-phobes find their forever when their defenses are their only common ground?
