Luna Russo has spent her life balancing two worlds-half Italian, half Russian, and never quite belonging to either. When she lands a job as a chef at a high-security military compound, she expects long hours, demanding work, and a team that barely acknowledges her existence. What she doesn't expect is him.
Roman Caputo is everything she can't stand-arrogant, disciplined, and completely insufferable. A decorated soldier with a reputation for being cold and ruthless, he sees Luna as a distraction, an outsider who doesn't belong in his world. And she? She sees him as an obstacle, a walking storm cloud determined to make her life hell.
From the moment they meet, sparks fly-though not the good kind. Their clashes are sharp, their arguments explosive. But as tensions rise within the compound and unexpected dangers lurk in the shadows, Luna and Roman are forced to rely on each other. And the more they fight, the closer they get-until hatred turns into something neither of them is prepared for.
She was supposed to be nothing more than the cook. He was supposed to be nothing more than a soldier. But in a world where duty and desire collide, can enemies ever truly become lovers?
