When a single executive promotion opens, the CEO forces them to co‑lead a two‑billion‑dollar merger. Their rivalry becomes unavoidable proximity—late‑night strategy sessions, heated debates, and a chemistry neither can ignore. As sabotage threatens the merger, Elena and Julian must decide whether ambition will destroy them… or whether partnership will save them.

A sophisticated, electric enemies‑to‑lovers romance filled with rivalry, slow‑burn tension, corporate power plays, and a love that refuses to stay buried beneath ambition.
