About this book

When a sharp-witted woman gets stuck sharing a San Francisco penthouse with her infuriatingly charming coworker—the same guy who won't stop insisting men and women can't be friends—she's convinced she can keep things professional (spoiler: shirtless protein-bar guy has other plans). With non-stop banter, sizzling chemistry, and one impossibly handsome man determined to prove her wrong, this enemies-to-lovers romp is packed with laugh-out-loud moments and the kind of tension that makes you question everything. If you loved the bickering-turned-romance vibes of When Harry Met Sally but want it steamier and funnier, this fresh take will have you rooting for these two to finally admit what's so obviously meant to be.

Spotify
playfulchargedconfidentspicywitty

Witty banter meets electric tension—think confident pop anthems, sultry R&B, indie tracks brimming with flirtation, and upbeat energy that matches relentless chemistry. Playful yet undeniably steamy, urban and modern, with irresistible charm underneath every beat.
