A wager shifts into something more

In this contemporary small-town romance, an attorney and Ruby Rose begin on opposing sides, trading verbal challenges before a wager brings their rivalry into more intimate territory. The relationship is complicated by an imbalance in what each wants: he comes to imagine a future together, while Ruby is described as unwilling to promise forever. The setup combines enemies-to-lovers tension with found-family elements, placing the central question not only in their attraction but in whether they can agree on what comes next. The publisher describes it as a standalone romance.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers who enjoy contemporary small-town romance and enemies-to-lovers setups.
  • Those interested in romantic stories involving a wager, verbal sparring, and uncertainty about commitment.

Ruby Rose declared me the enemy before I had a chance to defend myself.
I may be an attorney, but this girl had appointed herself judge and jury.
And I'd never minded a good verbal sparring.
There was a comfort in going to battle against the spitfire.
Maybe it was just the recognition of one damaged soul to another.
But the more we fought--the more I craved her.
Until our arguing turned into a bit of a wager.
One I was determined to win.
One time. A secret only we would share.
I'd work my magic and she'd declare me the winner.
I'd gloat, she'd sulk--that was my plan.
Little did I know, she was just as determined to prove me wrong.
But from the minute we crossed the line, there was no turning back.
She was so far under my skin I couldn't think straight.
Feeling things that I'd never felt before was one thing.
But knowing the clock was ticking was another.
Ruby Rose may have given me more than one time, but she wasn't offering forever.
And now my world doesn't work without her in it.
How do I convince her to stay, when she already has one foot out the door?
