Official synopsis Publisher
Award-winning author Zen Cho delivers a sparkling and witty rivals-to-lovers romance reminiscent of Sally Thorne’s The Hating Game and Sajni Patel’s The Trouble with Hating You.
Sparks fly when an ambitious rules-bound lawyer clashes with a maverick new hire who threatens his chances of partnership—and the walls he’s built around his heart.
Charles Goh has always played by the rules. It’s how he survived his difficult childhood as the swotty foreigner at a posh English boarding school — and now, his high-pressure job at one of the biggest corporate law firms in London. His job is his life and he’s happy that way … until she shows up.
Kriya Rajasekar’s lost her way. Her longtime boyfriend’s broken up with her and she feels trapped in her legal career. She knows she needs a fresh start — but it turns out her new job is at the same firm as her work nemesis. Charles Goh is like the bad luck charm she keeps running into, and their encounters lead to disaster every single time. And now he’s her office mate.
But just as they’re figuring out how to navigate this frenemy relationship, Kriya needs Charles’ help: pretend they’re dating so her boss will stop hitting on her. Soon, it becomes less clear whether they’re enemies, friends – or something else.
