Bittersweet Rivals. Love, love, love, #24

Emma Hayes prides herself on being focused, ambitious, and in control-especially at work. So when Liam Carter moves in next door and immediately becomes her rival, she's determined to keep him at arm's length. But forced proximity, shared projects, and endless banter make avoiding him impossible. What starts as a fierce rivalry slowly shifts into something more complicated. As they collaborate on a high-stakes project, moments of grudging respect turn into sparks of attraction.
Late-night work sessions, accidental close encounters, and stolen glances force them to confront feelings they never expected. Just when Emma and Liam realize their hearts are aligned, ambition threatens to pull them apart. A promotion, career opportunities, and tough choices test their new relationship-but love proves stronger than rivalry. Bittersweet Rivals is a slow-burn, contemporary romance full of enemies-to-lovers tension, flirtatious banter, emotional confessions, and a heartfelt happily-ever-after.
Perfect for fans of romantic office dynamics, witty banter, and heartwarming relationships that grow against all odds.
