Terms of Un-Endearment: A Sweet Enemies to Lovers Romantic Comedy

Two ex-step-siblings. One house. Zero chill.

Archie Forsythe has two weeks left in the South Bay beach house his father gifted him—before demanding it back as part of a very messy divorce settlement. The plan? Stall the paperwork, stay under the radar, and figure out how to finally launch his surfwear brand without Dad’s money, approval, or interference.

The problem? Piper Quinn. His ex-step-sister. Current pain in his...neck. And—thanks to a surprise legal twist—the house's new co-occupant.

Piper has no interest in rekindling anything with the Forsythe family… especially not with Archie, who spent her teenage years treating her like a walking cringe compilation. But with no money, no apartment, and a prestigious fashion internship starting in three days, she’s not about to give up a free oceanfront address—no matter who else is living there.

Now, they're locked in a battle of wills and passive-aggressive pranks. He hides her coffee. She hides his towels. They both insist the other should leave. But as the days pass, and the tension rises, the real question is:

What happens when your worst roommate becomes your unexpected weakness?

A sweet, enemies-to-lovers romantic comedy with forced proximity, hilarious pranks, and crackling tension. Perfect for fans of The Roommate Situation by Katie Bailey, The Love Wager by Lynn Painter, and Practice Makes Perfect by Sarah Adams.
