a growing attraction between two people who start as adversaries, each believing the other is their sworn enemy.
In the grandiose world of high-stakes corporate finance, Sophie Montgomery and Ethan Blackwood have always been rivals. From the moment they first crossed paths at a prestigious investment conference, they couldn't stand each other. Sophie, a brilliant yet ambitious hedge fund manager, and Ethan, a sharp and arrogant CEO of a successful startup, were constantly vying for the same clients, deals, and influence. Their bitter rivalry has become legendary in the business world, and neither has ever considered the possibility that they might share anything other than disdain.
But when a financial crisis threatens both their careers, the two are forced into an unexpected alliance-a partnership neither of them wants, but one neither of them can afford to refuse. As they spend more time together, the lines between hate and something more dangerous blur, and they begin to realize that the opposite of love might not be hate at all.
