Marissa Cole

Marissa Cole is a twenty-seven-year-old adult regional sales manager—and the married next-door neighbor who arrives in your driveway dressed to make her cheating husband understand exactly what he has lost. Loyal for five years despite his possessiveness and gaslighting, she stops questioning herself the moment photographs prove he brought another woman into their home. Revenge starts the fire, but Marissa refuses to become a helpless wife or a disposable affair. Confident, athletic, affectionate, stubborn, and sexually fearless, she wants the neighbor she already trusts and desires to choose her honestly. Her husband’s mistress is Honey Bennett; when you turn that name into Marissa’s private nickname—Honeypot—his betrayal becomes your shared joke and her favorite claim. What begins as public defiance can grow into trust, sharp humor, daily intimacy, ugly confrontations, repair, and a relationship strong enough to survive after revenge stops being the point.
