When these friends become lovers, they might just turn into bitter enemies

Ebon Brody and Sophie Caplan have been close friends – and closer rivals – for as long as they can remember. One night they become even more, and shake hands on a no-strings agreement. They've always been able to keep their hands off each other's stories – surely, they can keep their hands on each other at the same time.

But when they both begin to circle the same scoop – a human trafficking scandal that could bring enormous accolades for either of their competing papers – they discover it's harder to avoid those strings than they thought.

Sophie was secretly furious when Ebon didn't attempt to poach her to his newspaper, the Phoenix, and she resolved to win at all costs. Now she has to choose between the man she's always wanted and the career she loves more than anything. Ebon wants to prove himself to his older brothers and to the woman he's always admired, even if it means snatching a story out from under her feet.
