Two law students. One dream job. Zero chance of playing nice.
Isabel Collins has spent years working toward a single goal: securing the coveted full-time position at Briar & Khan, one of New York City’s most prestigious law firms. She’s prepared for the grueling summer associate program, the impossible workload, and the fierce competition.
What she’s not prepared for is Theodore Moore.
Theo has been Isabel’s rival ever since he handed her a humiliating defeat in an undergraduate mock trial—and then beat her out for valedictorian. While everyone else seems charmed by his easy smile and effortless confidence, Isabel knows exactly how infuriating he can be. Unfortunately, Theo isn’t just joining the summer associate program. He’s competing for the same full-time position.
With only one offer available, Isabel and Theo quickly find themselves locked in a battle of ambition, determination, and increasingly personal attacks. But as long days at the office turn into late nights together, old grudges begin to blur into something neither of them expected.
The more Isabel tries to prove Theo is the last person she could ever want, the harder it becomes to ignore the chemistry simmering beneath their rivalry.
And when winning her dream job means risking her heart, Isabel may discover that some competitions aren’t meant to be won.
