The Terms of Us

By: Vale, Tatum

Competition is easy. Sharing a bed is not.

All Bennett wants is to nail the biggest pitch of his career and finally prove Jasper wrong.
All Jasper wants is to win, and maybe get under Bennett's skin while he is at it.
What neither of them planned for was a snowstorm that strands them in a tiny mountain hotel with one room left.
And one bed.
With nowhere to go and nothing to distract them, sharp banter turns into late-night confessions. The rivalry they have perfected at work starts to blur into something softer. Warmer. Harder to ignore.
They have always competed over everything.
When the snow melts, they will have to decide what matters more. Staying rivals. Or risking something real.

A low angst MM rivals to lovers novella featuring workplace tension, forced proximity, one bed, and a complete standalone HEA.
