The CEO at Her Table: She Was Paid to Handle His Demands, Not His Desire. Enemies to Lovers Romance

As the owner of a growing event-planning and catering company, Sophie cannot afford to lose HGS International. Unfortunately, its powerful CEO seems determined to test every ounce of her patience. Grant changes menus, challenges deadlines, and expects the world to rearrange itself whenever he speaks.

So Sophie does something almost no one dares to do.

She tells him no.

Walking away should end their problem. Instead, family connections and circumstances keep throwing them into each other's path, where their professional battles begin turning dangerously personal. Grant is arrogant, controlled, and accustomed to getting exactly what he wants. Sophie has worked too hard for her independence to become another person who bends for him.

Yet beneath every argument is an attraction neither of them can ignore.

For Sophie, surrendering could threaten the business she built from nothing. For Grant, wanting a woman who refuses to be intimidated means facing emotions no boardroom strategy can control.

The hardest deal of Grant Holloway's career may be convincing Sophie that what is growing between them is worth the risk.
