Books like Strangers in the Night by Kristin Gabriel

Josie Sinclair, a reserved librarian, plans a spontaneous nighttime visit to surprise her boyfriend Adam Delaney. Her intent is simple: sneak into his apartment, slip out of her clothes, and share an intimate moment. Instead, she wakes to find that the man she slept with bears Adam’s name but is not the real Adam. Over the past three months, an impostor has been using Adam’s identity and living in his apartment, provoking his anger and a determination to uncover the truth. Now, Josie is caught between an unexpected romance and a dangerous identity mix‑up. As Adam confronts the stranger who has been occupying his life, he must convince Josie that there is only one real Adam—and that their love can survive this far‑reaching deception. The story unfolds as a contemporary romance that balances steamy encounters with the tension of mistaken identity and the quiet world of a librarian’s life.
