The feud between Weston Lockwood and me started at the altar.
Only neither of us attended the wedding, and the nuptials happened decades before either of us was born.
Our grandfathers had been best friends and business partners, at least up until my grandfather’s wedding day—when his bride-to-be blurted out she couldn’t marry him because she was also in love with Weston‘s grandfather.
The two men spent years fighting over Grace Copeland, who also happened to be their third business partner. But in the end, neither man could steal half of her heart away from the other.
Eventually, they all went their separate ways. Our grandfathers married other women, and the two men became one of the biggest business rivals in history.
Our fathers continued the family tradition of feuding. And then Weston and I did, too.
For the most part, we kept as much distance as possible.
Until the day the woman who started the feud died—and unexpectedly left one of the most valuable hotels in the world to our grandfathers to share.
Now I’m stuck in a hotel with the man I was born to hate, trying to unravel the mess our families inherited.
As usual, it didn’t take long for us to be at each other’s throats.
Weston Lockwood was everything I hated: tall, smart, cocky, and too gorgeous for his own good. We were fire and ice.
But that shouldn’t be an issue. Our families were used to being at war. There was just one minor problem, though. Every time Weston and I fought, we somehow wound up in bed.

"All along, I'd thought our arguing made her so irresistible to me. Her anger was like my flint, and I was the little boy who liked to play with matches."
The last person Sophia wants to be stuck next to on a flight is Weston Lockwood. Their families despise each other. She and Weston despise each other. He's cocky, arrogant, and too hot to be ignored. Why can't the two of them keep their hands off each other when everything in their lives tells them to stay away from each other? From their grandparents to their business, everything around them says "NO." But they can say YES to each other if they can open up, bare their inner hearts to each other, and be, above all HONEST with each other.
One of them just may be hiding something from the other. One of them may be fighting their demons. And one of them (both of them) may feel more for the other than just hot attraction fueled by years of feuding families. The two of them will have to decide how to be with each other without letting their families corrupt what they've started with each other.
"...before I met you, I had no purpose. It didn't take long after you stormed into my life to realize the reason I'd been lost was because you hadn't found me yet. My purpose in life is to love you."
This is not your standard issue enemies to lovers love story. It's got depth beyond just the feud that drives Sophia and Weston. Weston in particular, is a complex, layered character carrying a lot more inside than his dazzling appearance leads one to believe at first glance. I love the snark and the heated exchanges he and Sophia had, but most of all, I just absolutely loved them together and how they understood each other, complemented each other seamlessly. Their story is everything a great love story should be - fun and witty, beyond sexy, with two lovable, complicated characters that loved regardless of theirs and their families' history.
