Kylie is looking for this one! Ohhhh almost a step-brother step-sister situation, but not quite…
She asks:
Hi Maryse!
I’ve just found your blog and I’ve been reading it all morning!
I’ve been desperately trying to remember the name of this book and would love your help. I think it was written in the 2010s and I think I read it around 2018-20.
These are the details I remember:
- I think the couple were childhood sweethearts and they broke up after discovering their parents were having an affair together. It was the heroine’s mother and the hero’s father. Both of their families were pretty well off at the beginning.
- At the beginning of the book, I believe the heroine’s mother kills herself and h goes to a snowy cabin to clean out her mother’s things where she sees H again. There they are snowed in together.
- H is quite cruel to h in the present because he blames her for their parentsβ affair together.
- I remember her being a teacher at a private school and I think she was being stalked or blackmailed (not by hero).
Any help is much appreciated!
Thank you!!
Anyone have a guess?

No, in RoomHate the heroine didn’t have any stalkers…and they didn’t go to a cabin,,,they shared a house on the beach, and hero had a girfriend…it’s totally different than what Kylie is looking for.
Christine Zolendz – Enemies & Lovers
CLAIRE
Rejected.
Forgotten.
Shattered.
And that was the easy part.
Picking up the pieces of my mother’s affair and her lies,
That is all I have ever done and known.
I gave up everything,
I gave up him,
To find my place in this world.
And now, I am back in the middle of it all again,
And he sees me as nothing more than a carbon copy of her,
A tramp just looking to get my claws into him,
And his money.
This is so much more than that,
This is my life, my dignity, and my future,
All rolled into one big scandal.
This time, my life is on the line,
My future hangs in the balance,
And he’s my only hope.
VAUGHN
Betrayal.
Deceit.
Destruction.
That’s all she is,
All she’s ever been.
And now, she comes barreling into my life
Like an avalanche,
But I refuse to get buried by her lies, her actions, her scandal.
She’s cold and cunning,
Like the blizzard that trapped us here.
I’m no fool though, I won’t be tempted by her warmth, her body, her touch.
I can’t forget,
Refuse to forget,
She’s just like her mother,
And we’re enemies,
Nothing more,
Nothing less.
Oooooh interesting! I’ll add it in. P.S. I love that author!!!
