Synopsis

A swoony, slow burn romance about a struggling composer whose big break comes at a cost—working side-by-side with her college nemesis.

Celia García has always had one goal: to compose film scores. But after a decade of advertising jingles, that dream couldn’t be further out of reach—until an old college friend presents her with a life-changing opportunity. A big-name director so desperately needs a composer for his TV debut that he’ll take a chance on someone new. There’s only one catch. Celia has to work—and live—with her college nemesis, Oliver Barlowe.

Celia remembers Oliver as arrogant, rude, and entitled—the picture-perfect scion of Hollywood royalty. Soon, though, late nights and long days together reveal how much Oliver’s changed, sparking new feelings and the discovery that their rivalry wasn’t quite as mutual as she thought. But in an industry where she needs to work twice as hard to be seen as half as good, a romance with Oliver could end Celia’s career just as it’s starting

I almost DNF’d this book at 91%. It broke a cardinal rule of romance for me, but luckily Ana Holguin redeemed herself on that point, and I finished the book. Celia García has been trying to break into the film and television industries since she graduated from Juilliard a little over 10 years ago. Sh......more

Goodreads review by Chelsea on March 10, 2026

The way I devoured this book! I absolutely loved it! I'm realizing that a second chance enemies to lovers romance is my probably my favorite combination of tropes. The FMC, Celia, was wonderful. I felt like I could relate to her and identify with her in a lot of ways. She is smart and capable but fe......more
