The Billionaire's Rival: A Billionaire Enemies to Lovers Romance

By Elara Bellair

She has said no for ten years. He is the first person with the right to make her answer.

Ten years ago Claire Sorensen wrote one rule for the three people who built Verity: no founder gets involved with anyone who could complicate the business. She has enforced it on both of her partners ever since, without exception. Nobody has ever asked her what it cost to write.

Then a rival called Bastion proposes a merger of equals while Verity's offering is still unpriced, and the terms include a clause she would never have allowed if she had drafted it. Either side may put a written question to the other side's named officer. The officer answers truthfully, on the record, within twenty-four hours. No lawyers in the room.

Claire signs as Verity's officer, because it is the correct thing to do.

Elliot Cross signs for Bastion. She has met him exactly once: four years ago, in a city that belonged to neither of them, for thirty-one hours neither of them has mentioned since.

Eight weeks of diligence. Nine questions a week. A man who has never in his life let a silence stand, and a woman who can answer anything truthfully and tell you nothing.

Neither of them planned on the question he doesn't think to ask.

The Billionaire's Rival is a full-length, open-door enemies-to-lovers billionaire romance with dual POV, a guaranteed happily ever after, and no cheating. It is the second book in The Verity Group and reads as a standalone.

Tropes: enemies to lovers, one night that should not have happened, forced proximity, workplace romance with the leverage running both ways, matched power, secret history, he falls first and won't say so.
