She has a spreadsheet for everything. He's the one variable she couldn't calculate. Lila Carter lives by logic, algorithms, and strict color-coded calendars. She definitely doesn't have time for Ethan Cole—the charming, chaotic designer who gave her the best first date of her life six months ago and then vanished into thin air. She filed him under "Deleted Data." Case closed. Until he moves into the apartment directly above hers. And starts playing their song through the floorboards. And turns out to be her rival for the career-making grant she needs. Thanks to a "clerical error," they aren't just neighbors; they're forced partners. To win the money, Lila has to work with her enemy—the man who broke her "No Ghosting" rule. She has a plan to keep it professional: strict boundaries, zero eye contact, and absolutely no acknowledging the way he looks in a reindeer sweater. But between a snowstorm that traps them together and a fake-dating scheme to impress the committee, Lila's firewall is crashing.
