THE Independently Published The Enemy I Crave Paperback

He is brilliant. And he wants what she has.Her answer is no.But Marcus Vane is not accustomed to no, and the offer he places on the table is not the hostile takeover she expected. It is something more dangerous: a partnership. A chance to build something neither of them could create alone. And the more time Nadia spends across the table from the man she swore to destroy, the harder it becomes to remember why she wanted to.He is patient in a way she did not anticipate. He listens in a way she is not used to. And somewhere between the midnight strategy sessions and the cold-morning crises and the slow, reluctant truth of being truly known by another person, Nadia's most carefully defended certainty begins to crack.She came to fight him. She stayed to build with him. And now she is falling for the one man who could still take everything - if she lets him close enough to try.The Enemy I Crave is a slow-burn enemies-to-lovers romance about two people who are too driven, too guarded, and entirely too well-matched. For readers who want their love stories built on tension, respect, and the quiet devastation of being seen.
