Claws & Chemistry: A Novella

By Ophelia Lux

Riley Sutton and Jake Carter have been rivals since childhood. Growing up in their small town, they were constantly at odds-competing in school, pranking each other, and never missing a chance to argue. Now, years later, Riley has returned home to take over her late grandfather's veterinary clinic, only to discover that the town's new, wildly popular animal hospital is run by none other than Jake.

Determined to keep her family's legacy alive, Riley braces for another round of their lifelong feud. But when a local animal shelter faces a crisis, the two are forced to work together, putting their rivalry to the test. Between long nights caring for stray animals and unexpected moments of vulnerability, the old sparks of animosity start to shift into something far more dangerous-attraction.

As past grudges melt away, Riley and Jake must decide: is their rivalry worth holding onto, or have they been fighting their feelings all along?
