An Age Gap Enemies to Lovers Workplace Romance
They were supposed to hate each other.
Elias has spent twenty years building a reputation on caution and control. Mira has spent six years proving she’s more than her age. When a prestigious estate forces them into six weeks of collaboration on a historic discovery, their professional rivalry should make the project impossible.
Instead, it makes everything else impossible to ignore.
Elias knows the sixteen-year gap between them matters. Mira knows her career can’t survive being seen as the younger woman who compromised her judgment. But working side by side in a sealed archive, documenting a centuries-old hidden affair, the line between defending each other’s scholarship and wanting each other starts to blur.
The verification committee is watching. The estate staff is talking. And the evidence they’re uncovering suggests that some relationships are worth the risk of being caught.
The question is whether theirs is one of them.
