One Week: An Enemies to Lovers Romance
Noelle Stonebranch
Cape Cod was supposed to be a relaxing getaway… until I found myself stuck in Sophia’s cozy beach house with the one person I can’t Axel Thornton, ex-NFL star and walking ego in a hunter green bathing suit. What did he do to earn my eternal irritation? Oh, he knows exactly what he did.
Our meddling friends, Sophia and Dom, thought a week of forced bonding would help us settle our differences. In reality, Sophia seems hell-bent on making us live out her favorite romance tropes from the books we read in our book club.
There’s no way her little scheme will work. Axel and I are oil and water—or so I thought. As the days stretch into beach outings, snack-fueled arguing, one disastrous haircut, and a surprising night where things get spicy, I start to realize Sophia might be onto something.
Somewhere between the heat of the beach and the constant bickering, the line between loathing and lust begins to blur. Can a shared love of junk food and proximity turn us into something more? Or will our hate for each other explode like an overstuffed oatmeal creme cookie?
One thing’s for sure—love and hate have never tasted this sweet.
