Kelsey Gardner knows exactly where she stands with JP Cane, and it is nowhere near his side. He's cocky, infuriating, ridiculously attractive, and the billionaire who has turned their workdays into an ongoing battle of wills. But when an ill-fated business trip leaves them sharing a luxury penthouse in San Francisco, keeping their distance is suddenly impossible.

With nowhere to escape and plenty of reasons to clash, Kelsey and JP spend their days trading insults and their nights trying to ignore the undeniable chemistry building between them. Every slammed door, sarcastic comeback, and accidental moment of vulnerability makes it harder to remember why they were supposed to be enemies in the first place.

The Vibe

Kelsey is independent, quick-witted, and unwilling to let JP's wealth or confidence intimidate her. She gives as good as she gets, making their constant verbal sparring one of the most entertaining parts of their relationship.

JP is arrogant, ambitious, and accustomed to being in control, but being trapped in close quarters with Kelsey brings out a side of him she never expected to see. Their slow-burn attraction builds through banter, frustration, vulnerability, and the increasingly impossible task of pretending they feel nothing.

With a luxury penthouse, workplace rivalry, forced proximity, laugh-out-loud mishaps, and plenty of romantic tension, So Not Meant to Be is a steamy contemporary romance for readers who love enemies who can't stop arguing, can't stop staring, and definitely can't stay away from each other.
