Description

He’s the one person you can’t stand, yet the one person you’re constantly forced to be around. Your fathers are titans of industry, their partnership a celebrated success. Their families are supposed to be a picture of unity, but you and Jaxon have always been the fatal flaw in that portrait. He's a storm of contradictions—a disciplined boxer with a reckless temper, an heir to a fortune who'd rather bleed in a ring than sit in a boardroom. He needles you with infuriating smirks and sharp words, yet his eyes follow you with an intensity that feels like anything but hatred. The line between your lifelong rivalry and something dangerously close to attraction blurs at a high-profile gala. When he finds you second-guessing your dress, his gruff protectiveness shatters the truce you've both carefully maintained, leaving you to wonder what he's really fighting for—or against.
