All the Ways I Hate You

☆°☆°☆°☆°☆°☆°☆°☆°☆°☆°☆°☆°☆°☆°☆°☆°☆

Elena and Nico are forced to collaborate when their companies merge on a high-profile case/deal. Sparks fly-but not the good kind. She thinks he's an arrogant slacker. He thinks she's got a stick up her designer suit. But office pranks, accidental late-night confessions, and one stormy business trip later... things get complicated.

A Harvard-educated corporate lawyer with a stare sharp enough to draw blood, Elena thrives on control, caffeine, and a strict "no bullshit" policy. She's the kind of woman who wins arguments just by walking into a room. People call her cold; she prefers "unbothered." Emotions? Unreliable. Relationships? Time-wasters. Office gossip? Beneath her. She's built walls so high even she forgets what the inside looks like-until he walks in.

Nico Ashford never met a woman who didn't eventually fall in love with him.
Until her.

CEO of a fast-growing tech firm and proud owner of the world's most punchable smirk, Nico lives for adrenaline-fast cars, fast deals, and fast... well, everything. He's the kind of man who charms the room and knows it. But when his company merges with Elena's firm, he's met with one woman immune to his smile, his swagger, and his well-practiced banter.
