Nova Akhran and Julian Maxwell can't stand each other. At all. As CEOs of rivaling Fortune 500 companies, they've been at each other's throats for long enough. Since they want nothing to do with each other, they're also incapable of ever seeing eye to eye on anything. 

However, things take a turn when a frustrating ultimatum threatens their coveted CEO positions. Forced to scramble and protect everything they've worked for, they're cornered with a desperately volatile solution: holy matrimony.

But sharing temporary and meaningless vows shouldn't be a problem since it's mutually beneficial. Right? Because when one really and truly wants something, they must take risks and sacrifices along the way...even if some of those risks are costly. 

If these two knew what they were really getting from the start, maybe things would've been different. Because they're surely in for a ride when fate has a cruel sense of humor. After all, you can't avoid what is inevitable in matters of the heart.

Sophia thought she had it all figured out, that was until that fateful day. Two paths that were certainly never meant to collide had crashed into each other in the most unexpected of ways.

What's the worst that can happen when you're forced to co-captain with your rival? Nova Shields can't stand Leo Hendrix. She hates his arrogance and obnoxiousness, that crooked smirk he does when he thinks he's right. Leo can't stand Nova's wits, the way she folds her arms and quirks her eyebrows. The way he can never read what's happening behind those green eyes. After a combined black operation was almost sent awry in '99 as a result of their constant disagreements, the pair vowed to never work alongside each other again. That is until Leo's partner suddenly loses his life in '02, leaving Commander North no choice but to bring in the only officer capable of filling the void: Nova. Their partnership ignites with animosity, a consequence of the lingering grudge. They can't seem to find that comradeship the Commander longed for. That is until they discover how once they work together without disagreeing, arguing and trying to wring each others necks, they can in fact form an unstoppable duo. A duo that transcends the operations they face; that forces them to confront the feelings they've been denying for so long. Feelings that only surface through the betrayals, bloodshed and near death experiences. Feelings that may be accepted, but only when it's too late. Then again, what's the worst that can happen? - UNEDITED Most impressive rankings: #1 in Rivals to Lovers 21/03/24 #1 in Special Ops 23/02/24 #14 in Young Adult 14/01/24 #8 in Enemies 14/01/24 18+ reader age.
