Calista was deceived by someone she thought was her "boyfriend," losing all her savings and getting kicked out by her landlord. 
Now homeless in a city far from home with no one to turn to, she unexpectedly finds shelter in a shared apartment with three men- Zane, Cedric, and Draven. Not only do they offer Calista a fresh start, but they also bring her into a web of temptation and mystery.
Calista's journey is an emotional rollercoaster as she navigates the complexities of her new living situation while struggling to overcome the pain of betrayal. As she attempts to rebuild her life, she finds herself drawn to the lives of her roommates, each offering a different kind of allure.
Zane: "You're a sweet girl, Calista." 
Cedric: "You're making me more intrigued, Calista." 
Draven: "You're the first person who made me smile, Calista."
Amid the chaos of her new reality, Calista can't shake the feeling that she's a pawn in a game she doesn't fully understand. Has she stepped from one deceit into another? Can she trust the men she now calls her roommates?

　　He sighed heavily, his brow furrowing but I could see in his eyes that he understood me. "That's true. No one has rented this place before, so I appreciate your interest," he admitted gruffly. "I suppose it's suitable for a student like yourself..."


　　"Thank you, Mr. Halpert," I replied, trying to temper the hope in my voice. "It's just that such a sudden increase is impossible for me to manage on short notice. I'm willing to find a solution, perhaps a smaller increase over time?" I proposed softly, hoping for a favorable response.
