She only needed a split second. One panicked lie. One accidental "boyfriend."

Now her family thinks she's in a serious relationship with the one man she's spent years arguing with, competing against, and absolutely not falling for. He's calm where she's chaotic. Smug where she's defensive. And unfortunately, very good at pretending to be exactly what everyone expects.

What starts as a fake dating romance quickly turns into a minefield of office banter, forced proximity, and unresolved tension. Because enemies-to-lovers is fun in theory-until you're sharing Sunday lunches, surviving public scrutiny, and realising that the person who knows how to push your buttons might also be the one who sees you most clearly.

This messy enemies-to-lovers rom-com is packed with sharp dialogue, awkward moments, and slow-burn chemistry that sneaks up when no one's looking. It's a romantic comedy novella about miscommunication, emotional self-sabotage, and what happens when pretending gets dangerously close to telling the truth.

Perfect for fans of grumpy sunshine romance, workplace rivalry, and humorous love stories where the banter hits as hard as the feelings. Expect laugh-out-loud situations, painfully relatable misunderstandings, and a slow burn rom-com payoff that proves some relationships don't start sweet-they start messy.

Because sometimes the worst enemy isn't the person you fake-date... It's the part of yourself that's afraid to choose something real.
