Wicked Desire

They were rivals in high school. Now they’re forced to work together—and sparks are about to fly.
Grace
I’ve hated Nicole since we were kids. Our families have been business rivals forever, and she’s always gotten under my skin. Now, thanks to a massive real estate deal in Chicago—and our meddling parents—we’re being forced to work together. We’ve got a strict deadline, sky-high stakes, and zero patience for each other. What could possibly go wrong?
Nicole
Grace is all sharp edges and icy glares—and somehow hotter than ever. She’s always made it clear she doesn’t like me, and to be honest, the feeling was mutual. Until it wasn’t. When she proposes an “enemies with benefits” arrangement, I know it’s a bad idea… but saying no has never been my strong suit around her.
Now we’re sneaking off on private jets, sharing secret beach getaways, and blurring every line we swore we wouldn’t cross. Under the weight of family expectations and years of pretending, I’m finally starting to embrace who I really am. But when the deal’s done, will Grace go back to her own side of the city — and take my heart with her?
This is business. It’s definitely not love. Except… it might be.
