So when a position comes up that Sadie and Jonah are both perfect for, their ongoing enmity explodes into a red-hot competition. As Sadie fights for a job that can secure her future and increase the representation of women on the tenure track, she begins to realise that Jonah may not just be her nemesis – he may be the key to landing her dream job. But when things get personal, she’ll have to keep her eye on the prize. After all, if she’s not careful, the friction between them might just spark into something wholly unexpected…
