Now a motion picture starring Lucy Hale and Austin Stowell, USA Today bestselling author Sally Thorne's hilarious and sexy workplace comedy all about that thin, fine line between hate and love. Lucy Hutton has always believed that the nice girl can get the corner office. She's charming and accommodating and prides herself on being loved by everyone. Everyone except sarcastic, cynical, and intimidating Joshua Templeman. Her nemesis. Josh is the dark and brooding to Lucy's light and cheery, the crisp pressed suit to her retro outfits and bright red lipstick. And he gets under her skin like no one else can. Trapped in a shared office together five days a week, they've become entrenched in an addictive, never-ending game of one-upmanship. When a new executive position is announced, Josh and Lucy are top contenders for the promotion, but the idea of working for the other is so unthinkable that they strike a deal: whoever doesn't get the job will walk away. The stakes have never been higher and as the competition heats up and the barriers between them begin to fall down, Lucy starts questioning just who her opponent truly is and whether this man she's hated all this time is even the real Josh. Maybe Lucy Hutton doesn't hate Joshua Templeman. And maybe, he doesn't hate her either.

Nemezis (fn) a) Ellenfél, rivális, akit képtelenség legyőzni b) Valakinek a veszte c) Joshua Templeman Lucy Hutton és Joshua Templeman ki nem állhatják egymást. Nem csupán ellenszenvesek egymásnak. Nem épp hogy csak megtűrik egymást. Hanem gyűlölik a másikat. Az sem okoz nekik problémát, hogy ki is mutassák az érzéseiket egy sor rituális, passzív-agresszív játékon keresztül az irodában, ahol egy kiadó társigazgatóinak asszisztenseiként egymással szemben ülve dolgoznak. Lucy nem érti Joshua karót nyelt, ideges, aggályoskodó hozzáállását a munkához. Joshua pedig egyértelműen nem tudja hova tenni Lucy hóbortos ruháit, különcségét és túlzott derűlátását. Most ugyanazért az előléptetésért versenyeznek, és elszánt küzdelmüket immár semmi sem fékezheti meg. Lucy nem hajlandó meghátrálni, annak ellenére sem, hogy legújabb játékuknak álmai munkája lehet az ára… Ám pont amikor a köztük lévő feszültség a tetőpontjához közeledik, Lucy rájön, hogy talán nem is utálja a férfit. És talán a férfi sem utálja őt. Vagy lehet, hogy ez is csak egy újabb játék? „Tiszta szívből ajánlom.” – Susan Elizabeth Phillips, New York Times bestseller szerző
