Katherine Woodward, from a once-wealthy Pasadena family, has loved Arthur Riddle for years. Four years ago, at a Hamptons yacht party, she was drugged and slept with a man she thought was Arthur—only to wake beside his ruthless younger brother, Augustus "Gus" Riddle. Branded a gold-digger, she fled and spent four years as a barista, chasing an acting dream. When they meet again, Gus treats her with contempt. But he hides a secret: he was the man that night, has loved her ever since, and has secretly written to her under Arthur's name—paying her rent, arranging auditions, even paying a roommate to watch over her. Katherine's roommate Kylie, an influencer obsessed with Gus, schemes to destroy her. Armed with a cracked smartwatch and a hidden recording, Katherine exposes the plot and walks away with her dignity intact—which only makes Gus want her more.
