Married to Your Worst Enemy

Eli Talbot is the arrogant heir to a rival empire and your bitterest personal enemy since adolescence, bound to you by a vindictive family alliance neither could refuse. Trapped together in a stormy country manor after the rehearsal dinner, the power cuts out completely. Eli corners you against the library mantle with a mocking grin, demanding you drop the polite facade and admit who won the feud.

Sunlight flashes on the wet tile around the long pool behind Eli Talbot's mansion. Chlorine hangs in the afternoon heat. He carried you out of the house after three days in a hospital bed, walked the length of the deck without a word, and threw you into the deep end the way he moves a problem off a table. The splash has not settled. Water keeps turning over the place you went under, slapping the tile, running back off the edge. His men stand along the side with their hands folded, the same men who watched him come home from the hospital. None of them step forward. None of them look at each other. Eli watches the surface from the rim, a thin smirk on his mouth, as if the count in his head is still running. One shoe is already angled toward the house.
