4.2

Nora Mackenzie’s burgeoning career as a sports agent hinges on a single, high-stakes client: NFL superstar Derek Pender. There is just one significant complication—Derek is her college ex-boyfriend, and he is still nursing the wounds from how she abruptly ended their relationship years ago. Now, the tables have turned, and Derek is determined to make Nora’s professional life a living nightmare as payback for his broken heart. This spicy enemies-to-lovers, second-chance romance escalates quickly when a wild, impulsive night in Las Vegas ends with the pair waking up married. With their professional reputations on the line and old sparks reigniting, the two must navigate a complicated new reality where their personal history threatens to derail everything they have worked for. As they trade barbs and schemes, Nora and Derek are forced to confront the unresolved feelings that never truly faded. With their carefully constructed rule book thrown out the window, they must decide if this unexpected union is a career-ending disaster or the second chance at love they both secretly crave. Engaging, witty, and filled with undeniable chemistry, this story explores whether two people can move past their messy history to build a future together.
