Paradise is supposed to be my escape from burnout and bad guys, but I’ve already burned bridges with the hottest guy in town.

Bear Thomsen and I both want the same thing—his grandpa’s old auto shop. My dream is to rehab it into a bookstore. Bear’s is to tear it down to build a hockey rink.

I came to Paradise looking for a fresh start after leaving the police force in LA, needing to escape the big city with its big problems, and avoid a big, unwinnable fight with my commanding officer. Turning in the detective badge I worked so hard to earn is the toughest thing I’ve ever done.

I’m not about to let another man get in the way of my new dream–to own a small-town bookstore. Especially if that man is Bear Thomsen.

But when Bear rescues me not once, not twice, but three times, I realize my attraction to him is more than physical. He’s a gentle giant with a fierce protective streak, especially when it comes to his hockey team.

I never thought I needed saving, but the more time I spend with Bear, the more I discover that bridges can be rebuilt, walls can come down, and dreams are better shared.

But how can we share a dream when one of us has to lose for the other to win?

Enemies in Paradise is a closed door, enemies to lovers, romantic comedy with enough chemistry, banter, and kisses to keep you reading all night.
