Owning the Enemy: A Rivals-to-Lovers Billionaire Romance

He wanted my company. I thought he wanted to ruin me. I never expected his ultimate price to be a wedding ring.

I am the Ice Queen of the tech industry. I’ve spent three years fiercely guarding my father’s legacy and a master predictive algorithm that will change the global economy. But my empire is secretly drowning in hidden debt, and a vicious shadow fund is closing in for a hostile takeover. I’m out of options, out of time, and backed into a corner.

Enter Aiken West.

He is my greatest rival. A ruthless, terrifyingly brilliant billionaire warlord who never loses and takes no prisoners. When he steps in to offer me a multi-million-dollar lifeline, I know it’s a devil's bargain. But I didn't expect a shackle.

Aiken will absorb my debt and crush my enemies on one non-negotiable a full corporate merger... and a legally binding marriage of convenience.

Now, I’m tethered to the man I despise. We are forced to play the part of an obsessed power couple to pacify a hostile board of directors, sharing cutthroat boardrooms by day and a sprawling, isolated Tribeca penthouse by night. I drew a literal line down the center of our bed, determined to keep my heart as guarded as my company.

But Aiken has never respected my boundaries.

Behind closed doors, the frigid corporate warfare melts into an all-consuming, undeniable fire. Every searing look, every accidental graze, every brutal, violent defense of my honor chips away at my armor. He doesn't just want my software. He wants my absolute surrender.

When a traitor inside our own walls leaks my life's work to the dark web, the lines between rivals and lovers completely shatter. To save our empire, we have to team up to execute a highly illegal, high-stakes heist inside our own building.

I thought I was marrying a monster to save my company. I didn't know the monster was willing to burn the entire world to the ground just to keep me safe.

Owning the Enemy is a high-stakes, steamy standalone corporate romance featuring explosive chemistry, nail-biting suspense, and a guaranteed Happily Ever After.
