Description
Carter Miller-Cooper is a woman of precision. Moving to New York for a prestigious new career is the ultimate step in her carefully crafted life plan to leave her past in Philadelphia behind. The one variable she didn’t account for? Jax Michaels, her sister’s effortlessly cool best friend and her new roommate.
What begins as a convenient, no-strings-attached arrangement quickly spirals into something far more complicated. Jax needs a stand-in to practice relationships, and Carter—despite her rigid adherence to structure—becomes the perfect candidate. They aren’t a couple, at least not on paper. They are simply two people navigating a confusing landscape of physical intimacy and domestic rhythm, blissfully blurring the lines between pretense and reality.
But as the days turn into weeks, Carter’s ironclad resolve begins to crack. The heart, unlike a meticulously organized schedule, doesn’t always follow the rules. As the boundaries of their "fake" arrangement fray, Carter is forced to confront a terrifying possibility: is she just playing a role, or has she been falling for the one person she was never supposed to want? Anyone But Me is a sizzling, emotional exploration of the messy space between convenience and true connection.
