A high-heat, enemies-to-lovers why-choose romance. Enemies to Lovers + Forced Proximity + Reverse Harem + Workplace Power Dynamics I made enemies in high places by telling the truth.

It was pushing midnight at the bar, and I was looking to make a mistake. Then he walked in. Lexa Lewis turns to a one-night stand to blow off some steam after losing her job.

Absolute. No one touches me after that. No one dares. He doesn’t threaten. Doesn’t explain. He simply claims. I should run when I learn what he is.
