A Very Good Bad Idea

Two rival real estate developers inheriting the same prime beachfront property is already a recipe for disaster—but having to *live* in it together? That's pure chaos with a ocean view.

In this irresistible small-town romantic comedy from New York Times bestselling author Emma Chase, Damon and Jade have spent years trying to outmaneuver each other in the cutthroat world of real estate. They're ruthless, competitive, and absolutely cannot stand one another. So when they discover they've inherited equal shares of a gorgeous—if slightly cursed—beach house in a charming coastal town, the obvious solution is simple: one of them has to go.

Except neither of them will.

The house, however, seems determined to settle the matter itself. Faulty wiring sparks at the worst moments, the roof leaks with suspicious timing, and the local wildlife appears to have strong opinions about the sleeping arrangements. Every disaster that should drive them apart has an infuriating way of pushing them closer together instead.

Damon and Jade wage war over every square foot, every crumbling wall, every shared meal eaten in pointed silence. But somewhere between the power struggles and the patch jobs, something unexpected begins to take hold—something neither of them planned for and both of them desperately want to ignore.

Because wanting your enemy is dangerous. Needing them is worse. And falling for them? That's the most reckless thing either of them has ever considered.

Good thing they've never been afraid of a little risk.
