It Was Always Our Destiny

By AJ Poland

They promised to avoid each other. Fate promised otherwise.

After five years of blissful distance, Alex and Claudia-lifelong enemies and polar opposites-find themselves stuck under the same roof at the Betise family lodge. One relaxing Christmas vacation? Officially ruined.

"You're still the arrogant playboy you've always been."
"You're still my best friend's bratty little sister, I couldn't stand."
They agree on one thing: avoid each other at all costs. Stay civil. Stay distant. Stay safe.

Too bad the universe has other plans.

Forced into shared spaces that induce unexpected late-night conversations and undeniable sparks, Alex and Claudia start to realize they aren't the same people they used to be. He's not just her brother's reckless best friend anymore. She's not the know-it-all kid he loved to tease.

Somewhere between the biting insults and lingering stares, forbidden feelings started to grow. Dangerous, impossible, perfect feelings.

Giving in would risk everything-their families, their friendships, their hearts. But walking away might cost them the only chance at real happiness they'll ever get.

Set against the backdrop of cozy snowfalls, crackling fires, and a luxury getaway, this enemies-to-lovers romance delivers swoony slow-burn tension, heartfelt emotion, and just the right amount of spice to leave you wanting more. Perfect for any season, not just the holidays.
