*Standalone romance. No need to read the series in order.* I’m competing for a promotion I’ve spent years earning. He’s treating this like it’s a game.
Hi. I’m Ivy Ellison—strategic, data-driven, and about to strangle my coworker on camera.
Cole Hartwell, company wildcard and my professional rival, is six feet of muscle that screams “trust me, it’ll work”.
My romantic history is a graveyard of being the “second choice.” Men don’t choose me—they settle. So long ago, I decided to choose my career.
I’m one step away from my dream role, and the only thing standing in my way is Cole’s smug, handsome face.
One high-stakes trip. One career-making campaign. And one cramped hotel suite not designed for two people who “hate” each other this much.
The assignment? Produce a live-streamed eco-activism singles weekend at the Hotel Bellwether. The celebrity headliner?
Blaze Tate, a caffeinated golden retriever with a gazillion followers and zero impulse control. When he cannonballs into the ocean with sea lions, donations pour in.
The more he goes off script, the moreCole gains the advantage and I lose my sanity.
Cole treats our rivalry like foreplay and acts like the sleeping arrangements (and my curves) are somehow his problem.
He’s determined to prove that winging it wins campaigns, and every viral spike is proving him right.
Somewhere between fighting for my career and resisting the urge to shut him up with my mouth, I’m starting to wonder if the biggest risk isn’t losing my promotion—but walking away from the one person who might finally choose me first.
Hotel Bellwether, Book 3 of 5, is a standalone that delivers enemies-to-lovers-tension with one bed, forced proximity, competence kink, and a slow burn that absolutely brings the heat.
Perfect for fans of Meghan Quinn chaos and Tessa Bailey steam.
