Quarter-Love Crisis

A rivalry as old as time. . . The Hating Game meets Honey and Spice in this sizzling, hilarious and utterly relatable rivals-to-lovers workplace rom-com about surviving - and maybe even thriving - in your twenties.

Maddison Clarke has always lived by tick-lists, schedules, and five-year plans. So, she didn't foresee being this close to thirty and still living at home, in an assistant role, with the closest thing to a committed relationship being her grocery delivery driver. But when she lands the opportunity to lead on the company's biggest event to date, Maddison sees a chance to get her life back on track.

There is just one problem: she needs to join forces with Aiden Edwards, her long-time rival and the infuriatingly handsome bane of her existence. Aiden and his casual arrogance and absolute lack of urgency test her at every turn, so when he promises to walk away if she can give up her notebooks and live spontaneously, Maddison agrees. . . even if the concept is entirely alien to her.

But as the two are forced closer together, Maddison begins to wonder if this whole dare is Aiden's way of trying to help her, rather than ruin her. And if that's the case, can they truly insist this simmering tension between them is nothing more than hate? Maddison's quarter-life crisis seems to be turning into a quarter-love crisis. . . and that was not part of the plan.
