Hire and Desire: An Office Enemies - to - Lovers Romance

Natalie Pierce has built her entire career on control-every plan precise, every decision deliberate. She thrives on order, structure, and results. But when Ethan Cole, her ambitious and infuriatingly charming rival, becomes her new competition for a promotion, everything she's worked for begins to unravel. Their rivalry has always been sharp, professional, and perfectly contained-until a single project forces them to work side by side.
Between late nights, high-pressure deadlines, and the quiet moments neither expected, their tension begins to shift into something neither can name. As ambition collides with emotion, Natalie faces a choice she never prepared for: protect her pride or risk her guarded heart. Ethan isn't the enemy she thought he was, and the walls she's built to stay untouchable start to crack under the weight of something genuine.
In the world of boardrooms and deadlines, where success comes with sacrifice, Hire and Desire explores the thin line between rivalry and connection. It's a story about ambition, vulnerability, and the unexpected places where love chooses to take root-even in the most competitive hearts.
