Beneath the Flames
Updated at Sep 8, 2025, 04:21
Blurb Aria Bennett thought she had left Adrian Cole behind for good. He was the arrogant, untouchable heir who made her university years a battlefield. Every debate, every late-night argument, every sarcastic smirk from him was fuel for their rivalry. She hated him—and he hated her back. Or so she thought. Years later, Aria finally lands her dream job at Cole Enterprises, stepping into a world she’s worked her entire life to reach. But fate has other plans. Because sitting at the head of the boardroom table, the man who once tormented her is no longer just a privileged student,he’s Adrian Cole, CEO, and her new boss. What starts as a professional rivalry quickly turns dangerous. Late-night arguments ignite into stolen glances, whispered challenges blur into stolen kisses, and every day becomes a battlefield of pride, passion, and desire. But love between enemies is never simple,especially when jealous exes, ruthless parents, and family secrets stand in the way. “You haven’t changed,” Adrian said, leaning against the office wall, eyes dark with challenge. Aria crossed her arms, refusing to shrink. “Neither have you. Still arrogant. Still convinced the world owes you everything.” He smirked. “Careful, Bennett. You work for me now.” “No,” she shot back, stepping closer, heat crawling up her spine. “I work with you. Big difference.” They stared at each other, tension so thick it could choke. Then he leaned in, voice a low whisper. “We’ll see about that.”
