Childhood friends turned rivals in a sizzling enemies-to-lovers romance!
Xiamara Nivar and Apollo Fischer shared a perfect childhood friendship, and Xia always believed they’d easily transition to something more. But when it came to love, they were a total disaster. After Apollo left for college, promising he’d return, Xia foolishly waited… but he never came back.
Seven years later, she's over it. With a successful career, a tight-knit group of friends, and a fierce competitive spirit, Xia’s focus is on winning this year’s Moss Monster Meet. That is, until Apollo returns to the small island of Simona—and throws her whole world off course.
Now, not only is she a hot mess around him, but he’s also entered the race, threatening her three-year winning streak. The Moss Boss title is within reach—if she can survive him being back in her life.
When they’re forced to compete side by side, Xia can’t hide her feelings—or her nerves. Apollo isn’t above using her vulnerability against her. But as the finish line approaches, one question haunts her: Is Apollo racing for the title, or is it her heart he wants to win?
Perfect for fans of enemies-to-lovers romance, second chances, and small-town settings, this sizzling read will have you hooked from start to finish.
One bleary winter, Poppy Minnix accidentally wrote a novel—a paranormal romance she obsessively typed out in five weeks. Years later, she still barely sleeps, has nightmares of exploding biscuit cans when she does (it's a valid phobia!), and writes every waking minute. She lives in Maryland with a husband who is far more romantic than she is and two delightful kids who kindly open the terrifying dough bombs for her. They are all kept busy by the best rescue lab-ish mongrel ever, and two cats who think they are dogs.
