The Enemy I Married

Ruby Valentine and Liam Hartwell have spent their lives as Boston's most notorious rivals, trading victories in school and business alike. When a scandalous overseas investment threatens both their families' companies, their families force them into a marriage to stop the stock prices from free-falling. Outside City Hall, Liam hands Ruby a contract: don't touch him, don't cross the line, and whoever falls first walks away with nothing.

Ruby is ready to laugh it off until a voice erupts inside her head — Liam's inner thoughts, gushing about how beautiful she is while his face stays ice-cold. She can hear every flustered word behind his perfect composure, and she decides to use it. If he wants to play games, she will play along and tear his fragile self-control apart piece by piece.

At his house, Ruby borrows his white dress shirt, brings him warm milk during an international call, and leans close enough to make his heart pound. Liam snaps the laptop shut, grabs her wrist, and orders her away, then flees to a cold shower. Whoever falls first loses everything — and Ruby intends to win.
