At one of Manhattan’s most elite consulting firms, Lena Rivera and Julian Vance are locked in a ruthless battle for dominance. She’s fierce, brilliant, and tired of being underestimated. He’s cold, calculating, and used to winning without question. Everyone in the office believes they despise each other—but I know better. I’ve seen the sparks that flare when no one is watching, the way a glance across the room says more than a hundred heated words.

When a high-stakes merger forces them into an uneasy partnership—and into the same luxurious penthouse suite—the friction turns dangerous. Late nights and whispered arguments blur the lines between rivalry and something far more volatile. Beneath every cutting remark hides a secret longing neither can admit.

But pride is a powerful enemy.

And love, even stronger.

As they fight to control their futures, will they also lose their hearts? Or is what I saw between them enough to change everything they thought they knew about winning—and about each other?
