Freya Archer's world comes crashing down when Kai Everhart-her boyfriend of five years-betrays her in the worst way possible. Struggling to pick up the pieces of her broken heart, she finds an unexpected solace in Nico Montgomery, Kai's best friend, and her long-time rival. Cold, intense, and dangerously alluring, Nico has always pushed her buttons-and now, he's the only one who can calm the storm inside her. What starts as a bitter alliance between enemies soon ignites into something far more intoxicating. Nico's quiet, obsessive gaze stirs something deep inside Freya, while her bold, fiery personality pulls him in like a magnet. Their once electric hatred crackles with undeniable chemistry, and the lines between desire and disdain blur as their slow-burn connection ignites. In the shadow of betrayal, forbidden attraction smolders between them-an attraction neither of them is prepared for but both crave desperately. As passion collides with rivalry, Freya and Nico must face the undeniable pull between them... or risk losing everything in a game they never saw coming.
