Mine: Alternate Cover Edition

He calls her his enemy. She calls him insufferable. Neither of them is lying—but neither of them is telling the whole truth.

When Serena Cross is forced to work alongside the one man who dismantled her career without a second glance, she has two choices: walk away or fight back. She chooses war. What she doesn't choose is the electric pull that sparks every time they're in the same room, the way his jaw tightens when she challenges him, or the dangerous heat that lives in the space between their arguments.

Cole Mercer built his empire on ruthless decisions, and Serena was one of them. He's made peace with that. What he hasn't made peace with is why he can't stop watching her, why her sharp tongue makes him want to close the distance between them instead of create more of it, and why the word *mine* keeps surfacing in the darkest corners of his mind.

They were never supposed to want each other. The history between them is too complicated, the wounds too fresh, the stakes too high. But want doesn't ask permission.

*Mine* is a scorching, emotionally raw romance about two people who chose hatred because love felt too terrifying—and what happens when they can no longer tell the difference. For readers who need their happy ending to feel *earned*.
