Twelve years of rivalry. One impossible deadline. Zero chance they walk away from this project without falling for each other. Delaney Vance and Grant Marlowe have spent over a decade competing for every architecture contract worth having - right up until the city forces their two firms into an unwanted partnership on Riverside Commons, an eleven-million-dollar redevelopment neither of them can afford to lose. She's the principled visionary the community trusts. He's the pragmatic dealmaker who actually knows how to keep a project on budget. Neither of them planned on needing the other. But six months of late nights, drafting-table arguments, and grudging respect have a way of turning rivals into something far more dangerous - especially once an old grudge threatens to blow the whole partnership apart, and Grant has to decide, in front of the entire city council, exactly whose side he's really on. An enemies-to-lovers, forced-partnership workplace romance about two people who spent years competing for everything except the one thing that actually mattered. What readers can expect: - A slow-burn enemies-to-lovers romance between two equally matched rivals - A forced business partnership that turns into genuine trust, respect, and love - A satisfying public vindication scene and a hero who chooses her, loudly, when it counts - Workplace tension, sharp banter, and a project worth rooting for - A clean, closed-door romance with a joyful, earned happily ever after
