From New York Times bestselling author Kristen Callihan comes a smart, emotional contemporary romance about finding love with the most unlikely of people.
As kids, they hated each other. Macon Saint was beautiful, but despite his name, Delilah knew he was the devil. That he dated her slightly evil sister, Samantha, was no picnic either. When they broke up, it was a dream come true: Delilah never had to see him again.
Ten years later, her old enemy sends a text.
Delilah’s sister has stolen a valuable heirloom from Macon, now a rising Hollywood star, and he intends to collect his due. One problem: Sam has skipped town.
Sparks still sizzle between Macon and Delilah, only this heat feels alarmingly like unwanted attraction. But Delilah is desperate to keep her weak-hearted mother from learning of her sister’s theft. So she proposes a deal: she’ll pay off the debt by being Macon’s personal chef and assistant.
It’s a recipe for disaster, but Macon can’t stop himself from accepting. Even though Delilah clearly hates him, there’s something about her that feels like home. Besides, they’re no longer kids, and what once was a bitter rivalry has the potential to be something sweeter. Something like forever.
Delilah and Macon have been enemies since they were children as he went out of his way to make things as difficult as he could for her and she never understood why. Instead of things getting better they just got worse when he started dating her sister. The happiness day of her life was when they broke up so he wouldn’t infringe on her home as well as the rest of her life.
When Macon calls Delilah looking for her sister the past comes rushing back even if it has been a decade since they have seen each other. In order to protect her sister, she now finds herself working for Macon and the animosity between resumes as if they had never been apart. Spending time together she realizes that he is not the boy she remembers and she have to decide if holding on to the past is worth losing what she could have in the future.
Not only is Delilah fiery and feisty but when it comes to those she loves there is nothing she won’t do for them. Even as children Macon knew that she was special and as a boy the only way to protect himself was by ensuring she didn’t get too close. Now that they are adults there is no doubting they belong together but their journey will be filled with a lot of angst along the way.
