A laugh-out-loud, enemies-to-lovers romcom from bestselling and award-winning author Lydia Michaels! Soren Hawthorne is arrogant, brooding, and used to getting everything he wants-including ruthless control of his family's empire. The last thing this grumpy alpha billionaire needs is any lip from Jocelyn Collins, the sharp-tongued, beautiful, chaotic, Viking smut author with an evil chihuahua that hates his guts.
Jocelyn has spent her whole life being too much. Too loud, too messy, too wild for a small town that likes its love stories neat and tidy. She writes happily-ever-afters for a living but never believed she'd get one of her own. Especially not with the infuriating, insufferable, impossibly gorgeous man she's been at war with since the third grade.
But twenty years of slow-burn tension has to break somewhere. And once Soren realizes the woman he wants has been right there all along, his possessive nature kicks.
This autumn, Soren Hawthorn is falling for the enemy, and he doesn't plan to lose in this steamy, small-town, enemies-to-lovers romance with a found-family you'll want to adopt and a happily-ever-after worth fighting for.
