Obsession

She's been fighting to save a historic Boston theater for three years. He's been hired to demolish it. The mayor just locked them in the same office for six weeks.

Barbara Pulido doesn't lose. Not petitions, not preservation battles, not arguments with developers who think history is just an obstacle between them and a permit. When the city forces her to share a workspace with James Wayland-heir to Boston's most powerful real estate dynasty and the man standing between her family's theater and a wrecking ball-she has one goal: win.

James Wayland doesn't feel things. He builds them. Controlled, precise, and allergic to sentiment, he's spent his entire career proving he's nothing like his father. The Orpheum is just another parcel. Barbara Pulido is just another activist.

Except she isn't.

Six weeks. One building. Two people on opposite sides of a line neither of them was supposed to cross.

As Boston's worst blizzard traps them inside the very theater they're fighting over, the walls James has spent years building begin to crack-and Barbara realizes that the most dangerous thing she's ever faced isn't losing the Orpheum. It's losing herself to the man who was supposed to be her enemy.

But James's father isn't done fighting. And when Arthur Wayland decides to use their relationship as a weapon, Barbara and James will have to choose: the building, the battle, or each other.

Obsession is a slow-burn enemies-to-lovers contemporary romance featuring forced proximity, a workplace rivalry that turns into something far more dangerous, a brooding billionaire developer with a secret soft side, and a Boston winter that makes staying warm feel like the most complicated decision two people have ever made.

Perfect for fans of Ana Huang, Penelope Douglas, and Rina Kent.

Standalone. HEA guaranteed. No cliffhanger.
