TERMS OF SURRENDER: An Enemies to Lovers Billionaire Romance

She's spent seven years building a case against him. She has six weeks to close a deal with him. She never planned to fall for him.

Nadia doesn't lose. Not in the boardroom, not in negotiation, and certainly not to the man she has spent seven years blaming for the quiet unraveling of everything her father built. As one of Chicago's sharpest corporate attorneys, she has a reputation for precision, professional distance, and closing deals that lesser attorneys walk away from.

So when she's assigned to lead the most important acquisition of her career, she walks into that conference room armored and ready.

She does not expect Marcus Hale to already be sitting in it.

Marcus is everything the rumors say — controlled, relentless, impossible to read. He also knows exactly who Nadia is the moment she walks through his door. He has known for seven years. And he has been carrying a truth about her father's company that would change everything she thinks she understands about him.

Six weeks. Late nights. Shared takeout at a conference table that slowly stops feeling like enemy territory. A dinner in Milwaukee that runs three hours too long. A train ride home that ends with a kiss neither of them can take back.

What begins as cold professional combat becomes something Nadia has no category for — a man who matches her word for word, who sees past every wall she's built, who is not who she decided he was. And a secret, when it finally surfaces, that forces her to confront the most uncomfortable question of her what do you do when the story you've been living turns out to be true, just not complete?

Terms of Surrender is a slow-burn, enemies-to-lovers billionaire romance for readers who want their love stories to feel earned — sharp dialogue, real emotional stakes, and a HEA that neither character saw coming but both of them chose.

Perfect for fans Kennedy Ryan, Talia Hibbert, and Helen Hoang.

If you love corporate romance with heat, depth, and two people who have to become someone slightly different than who they started as — this is your next read.
