Fierce Harmony: A Rivals to Lovers, Workplace Romance
Not yet published
Expected 1 Jun 26They call me the free-spirited wanderer.
The sassy, easy going, charismatic one.
They don’t see how I’ve chased belonging in a world that I never felt like I fit into. Looking for my place, I’ve lived all over the world. But I’ve ended up right back in my hometown. Everyone is happy for my return except for my best friend’s brother, Lee Thomas.
I have unintentionally done one thing successfully my whole life—prove that I’m better than Lee Thomas… at just about everything.
And Lee has made sure I know just how much it grates on him along the way.
When his father announces that he’s retiring, it’s no secret Lee despises the fact he and I are both hoping to fill the veterinarian position at his family’s clinic.
What started as a rivalry from our childhood has manifested into something much worse after one reckless night erases the lines that were meant to stay in place.
Working side by side and competing for the same promotion is all the more difficult when you have to pretend that one night didn’t change everything.
It really isn’t my fault Lee is spiraling. Somehow it is only me who sees he’s struggling with more than becoming the vet he hoped he’d be.
When our town’s beloved pet adoption drive is suddenly at risk, we’re forced to work together to save it. In the process, we must confront the truths both of us are hiding behind.
I don't need to prove I'm better than him because winning was never the hard part.
Now that I've seen the man underneath the competition, I'm not sure victory is worth the cost of losing him.

The Thomas Family drama continues and I ate this up!
Lee is this tired grump and is practically the entire book,.. until he opens up to our queen Zadie.
And our bestie Zadie. She’s everyone’s light. Always up to making everyone else happy, but doesn’t get her happiness.
If you remember book one, they had found a tie and a name badge. We learn sooo much more about that! AHHH!!!

I freaking love Lee. I completely forgot who Brice was 😅😅🥴 I don’t think you can go wrong with a book my Mrs Galan.
Zadie is absolutely perfect. Filled of sass and spice. So much spunk she’s amazing.
Spice level is probably a single pepper

4.5 stars!!
I was so ready for Lee & Zadie story from book 1! When you put these two together - the tension is thick and everyone is ready for them to be a thing. We find out more about Lee’s story and truthfully they are connected and can relate so much.
