Obsidian Claim: An Enemies-to-Lovers Bully Romance

One rival reporter. One corrupt biotech empire. One investigation that can ruin them before it kills them.

Nia Calder trusts documents, deadlines, and damage control—never Dorian Kincaid. He is her most infuriating rival: cold-eyed, razor-smart, and always half a move ahead. But when their editor locks them into the same Acheron Biotech investigation, hatred turns into proximity fast. Shared files become nightly strategy sessions at an off-grid motel. Rules become survival. And the attraction between them stops being a distraction and becomes the most dangerous variable in the room.

Acheron is hiding more than bad numbers. People have vanished. Evidence lands like a threat. Someone is watching, sabotaging, and steering the case toward the wound Nia never stopped carrying: the father who disappeared after chasing truth of his own.

Dorian fights for control. Nia fights to drag every secret into daylight. Together, they are volatile—two sharp minds, two ruthless instincts, one line of consent drawn between want and disaster. The deeper they dig, the more the city closes in around them, and the harder it becomes to tell whether the next hit will come for their careers, their bodies, or the one fragile thing neither of them can afford to lose: trust.

Obsidian Claim is a dark contemporary romantic suspense with enemies-to-lovers heat, forced proximity, obsessive tension, explicit consent, and a conspiracy built to break anyone who gets close.
