Two rivals. One contract that could make-or break-their futures. Aria Vance built her life on ambition and control, determined never to be vulnerable again after Cassian Hale betrayed her trust years ago. She's sharp, brilliant, and refuses to let him close enough to wound her a second time. Cassian Hale wears his arrogance like armor, but beneath the charm lies guilt for a choice he made long ago-one that destroyed the only woman he ever wanted.
Now, fate throws them into the same battlefield: a partnership neither can walk away from. Every glance cuts like a blade. Every argument sparks a fire they can't extinguish. Hatred blurs into hunger, and one kiss shatters the lie that this is only business. But when buried secrets resurface, ambition, betrayal, and desire collide-forcing them to decide: will they burn each other down, or surrender to the one war neither can win alone?Enemies-to-lovers.
Slow burn. Explosive chemistry. Kisses That Taste Like War is a gripping contemporary romance about pride, passion, and the thin line between love and ruin.
