Sleeping With the Enemy is a raw, faith-driven memoir about betrayal, spiritual warfare, self-deception, and redemption. This is not a story about surviving a broken marriage; it is about confronting the most dangerous enemy of all: the self that learned to stay silent.

Raised in faith and marked by spiritual calling, Paulette D. Simmons recounts how devotion, familiarity, and unhealed wounds led her into a relationship that looked God-ordained but was built on illusion. What follows is a descent into emotional manipulation, spiritual confusion, humiliation, and identity erosion, followed by a hard-earned awakening.

This memoir strips away religious performance and exposes the cost of covering what God never asked you to protect. Through moments of heartbreak, prayer, confrontation, and isolation, the author walks readers through the brutal truth that betrayal does not always come from others, it often begins when we abandon discernment, boundaries, and self-respect.

Written for women navigating toxic marriages, spiritual confusion, emotional abuse, and faith-based manipulation, Sleeping With the Enemy is both a warning and a roadmap. It speaks to readers who love God but feel lost, who stayed too long, who silenced their intuition, and who are ready to reclaim their voice.

This book is not polished inspiration. It is testimony forged in fire. If you have ever confused endurance with obedience, silence with strength, or sacrifice with love, this book will confront you, awaken you, and point you back to truth.

This is not just a memoir of betrayal.

It is a story of repentance, authority, and resurrection.
