When a ruthless manager makes a controversial decision to protect her client's career, she becomes public enemy number one—especially to his infuriating younger brother, who sees her as a villain without understanding the full story. Forced to work together to take down the corrupt record label threatening everything they care about, the tension between them becomes impossible to ignore, and what starts as mutual contempt slowly transforms into something far more dangerous. As they fight their common enemy and learn the truth behind each other's motives, they discover unexpected common ground beneath all that animosity. This is a sizzling enemies-to-lovers romance about finding trust in the most unlikely places—and realizing that sometimes the person who knows exactly how to push your buttons is the one who can steal your heart.
