She's everything he hates.
And he's everything she wants to destroy.
She'll play with him before she kills him, like a cat with its mouse. She'll rip his legacy apart and burn his bloodline to the ground.
And he'll ruin her before she can. He'll dismantle her empire piece by piece, until the only thing she has left to surrender is herself.
But now he's forced under the same roof as her, locked in a marriage he never wanted but must uphold - for appearances, for power, for war.
Enemies, rivals, CEOs at the helm of empires, bound together by hate and an arrangement he can't escape.
So they strike a deal: enemies with benefits.
He'll get what he needs. She'll take what she wants.
It was simple.
Until it wasn't.
Because hate is a thin line to walk - and beneath the sharp edge of her revenge and his ambition, something begins to burn.
Now she's playing with fire, and so is he.
It was supposed to be simple: she'd kill him. He'd destroy her.
But in this game of power, betrayal, and desire, only one question remains.
Who will fall first?
When Chef Margot loses her beloved restaurant to her cheating ex-fiance, her best friend, single dad Nathan, steps in with an unexpected offer to help her start over. As they collaborate, sparks fly-but can they overcome their complicated pasts for a chance at real love?
