Weddings are meant to bring families together. But when she ends up across the aisle from the man who’s been her sharpest rival, the ceremony turns into a battlefield of pride, sharp words, and glances that last too long. Beneath the vows and champagne toasts, temptation grows harder to ignore.

In another story, two colleagues locked in a war of deadlines and whispered arguments discover that office walls can’t contain the pull between them. Every late-night meeting blurs the line between resentment and desire, dragging them into dangerous, exhilarating territory.

And on a different front, words cut deep when two adversaries refuse to yield. What begins as verbal sparring unravels into something far more intense where every clash hides longing, and every retreat only pulls them closer.

From the altar to the office to the heat of confrontation, these romances bring biting banter, relentless tension, and enemies who can’t stop wanting more.

When the fight is this fierce, how do you resist the fall?

And if one taste of enemies-to-lovers heat leaves you breathless, the Rivals in Desire series will keep you coming back.

Three stories, one theme when rivalry burns, desire burns hotter.

This steamy collection throws enemies into boardrooms where power is the prize, small towns where grudges cut deep, and arenas where only one can claim victory. Pride collides with stubborn will, and every clash edges closer to nights neither side can forget.

Each tale captures the raw pull of passion forged in conflict where hostility twists into want, and defiance turns into surrender.

Can enemies truly fight fire with fire, or will they end up consumed?
