When a corporate merger forces Claire Winters to share an office with her fiercest rival, she braces for chaos. Ethan Grant has challenged her since day one sharp-tongued, smug, endlessly confident. Now their desks sit inches apart, and every glare, every stolen stapler, every whispered rumor just feeds the tension simmering between them.
Neither intends to yield. Claire thrives on structure, Ethan thrives on disruption, and soon their petty battles spill into late nights, boardroom clashes, and sparks neither can ignore. The harder they fight, the harder it is to deny the pull between them.
But ambition cuts deep. When a coveted promotion pits them against each other again, pride and passion collide in ways they never saw coming. The question isn’t who takes the win it’s who they’ll be when the battle ends.
Enemies at work. Heat at every turn. Can two rivals survive sharing one office?
