@DARLING230912 HI! I was just coming to your message board to thank you for the recent votes and saw the above comment. Sorry I missed that a few weeks ago. Yes, a slow-burn enemies to lovers. The love interest will make an appearance in next Friday's chapter :) Some other characters are coming too who hopefully you will also enjoy. If you continue following the story, I'll be eager to get your feedback on the romance subplot at the end, as this is an area I want to strengthen in the next revision that will be going out to agents :)
