Fireflies Glow: A Novella

By Ophelia Lux

When two workplace rivals are stranded in the woods together, tensions ignite in more ways than one. In this forced proximity, enemies to lovers romance, the line between hate and desire blurs - until neither can resist the fire.

When Lila Carter, a high-powered marketing executive, is forced to go on a corporate retreat in the Smoky Mountains, the last thing she expects is to be paired with her company's most aggravating employee-Ethan Hayes, the cocky, laid-back outdoors instructor who never takes anything seriously.

Lila thrives in boardrooms, not backwoods. Ethan, on the other hand, finds her tightly wound attitude hilarious-and endlessly infuriating. From the moment they set foot on the trail, their clashing personalities make every step a battle. She complains about the bugs, he laughs at her impractical hiking boots. She insists on sticking to the schedule, he purposely drags his feet just to annoy her.

But when an unexpected error causes them to break from the group and seek shelter alone in the deep woods, everything changes. As the days stretch on and the fireflies begin to dance around them at night, their rivalry turns into something else entirely-stolen glances, quiet confessions, and an undeniable heat that neither can ignore.

By the time the rescue team finds them, Lila and Ethan must decide: was this just a spark in the wilderness, or the beginning of something real?
