Naomi has hated her brother's best friend for years. Kai didn't just ignore her. He criticized her. Challenged her. Made it very clear she was an inconvenience in his perfectly controlled world. He made her life miserable. Now she's living in the same house as him. Kai is the captain. The responsible one. The golden standard on and off the ice. Loyal to her brother above all else. And suddenly the tension between them doesn't feel like hatred anymore. It feels dangerous. Forced proximity has a way of exposing old wounds. Of turning sharp words into loaded silences. Of making late-night arguments blur into something neither of them can explain. She swore she would never forgive him. He never expected to want her. Enemies to lovers was never supposed to look like this. Warning: May contain profanity and sexual content.

As much as Kimberly Astor hated to admit it, she had a slight problem. Okay, so it was theoretically a major problem, but it wasn't entirely her fault. Okay, so it was her fault, (at least to a certain extent, according to her) but her dad didn't need to be all rude about it. He especially did not need to threaten her future role as CEO on it too. And, setting up an arranged marriage to fix said 'problem' is so out of proportion. Okay, it wasn't completely out of proportion, but still. Jace Kingston didn't know what he was getting into when he agreed to be married to a 'problematic heiress'. He certainly was not expecting a sexy vixen, who was hellbent on getting on his nerves and destroying the semblance of normalcy he established in his complex life. So, when the two come together to form a business alliance, they make a simple plan. 1. Fix the problem. 2. Don't ever bring up personal things. 3. Get out. Too bad breaking the second rule is making the third rule look a lot more... difficult.
