Almost, always

Enemies-to-Lovers Cabin Romance

Kennedy Brooks and Chase Walker have hated each other since childhood. Growing up side by side-thanks to Kennedy's best friend Katie, Chase's sister-their lives have been a constant mix of teasing, rivalry, and unspoken tension. Kennedy, sharp-tongued and fiercely independent, has always resisted Chase's smirks, flirtations, and irritating charm. Chase, equally stubborn and effortlessly magnetic, thrives on pushing her buttons, hiding the depth of his feelings behind teasing and provocations.

When a weekend cabin trip brings them together for three days, the dynamic between them escalates. Long drives, late-night bonfires, and competitive games reveal just how much they spark off each other-and how thin the line is between love and hate.

Arguments flare as jealousy and pride surface, particularly when friends like Bree enter the mix, and both Chase and Kennedy say things they immediately regret. Yet every fight is followed by moments of vulnerability, teasing touches, and charged proximity that make it impossible to ignore the attraction between them.

Across separate rooms in the cabin, they navigate stubbornness, desire, and emotional walls, building a tension that is as fiery and unpredictable as the lake-side bonfire itself. Every glance, every brush of skin, every heated exchange threatens to tip the balance from animosity to undeniable intimacy-making the cabin the perfect setting for a slow burn, full of sass, sparks, and dangerously close encounters.
