Is it her he hates…or how much he craves her?

Ari. To secure my latest career-defining deal, I need the best corporate negotiator my billions can buy—Diana North.

She’s the woman who came between my long-lost brother and me.  So to succeed, I must suppress every emotion she elicits in me—the burning animosity and the ravenous desire…

Diana. As far as Ari Valdasson is concerned, I’m the enemy.  His ego won’t allow him to entertain the possibility he’s wrong.

Yet with each boardroom encounter, the hotter our hostility turns. How long before we both go up in flames?

Title:  Enemy in His Boardroom
Series:  Red-Hot Icelandic Nights #1
Author:  Emmy Grayson
Published:  November 25, 2025
Publisher:  Harlequin Presents
My Rating:  4.5 stars

Enemy in His Boardroom is the first story in the Red-Hot Icelandic Nights duet in the Harlequin Presents imprint.  Ari needs Diana’s skill, even as he fights against the idea of employing the woman he believed helped keep him and his long-lost brother apart.  Diana knows the truth of that situation, and it’s far different from what Ari believes, although getting him to acknowledge that seems like a lost cause.  For now,  they have to ignore the intense attraction between them and get the job she was hired for done.  A near impossibility since every time they’re in the same space, the obvious attraction between them threatens to burst into flame.  Hearts are about to get burned before healing, and love can make a difference in both of their lives.

I thoroughly enjoyed Enemy in His Boardroom by Emmy Grayson.  The tension between Diana and Ari simply leaps off the page, making the banter and desire between them more foreplay than anything else.  Both are equally stubborn and determined that their version of events is the only correct one… until they’re proven wrong.  Their story is well-written, passionate, and full of emotions, both dark and lighthearted.  While the only “enemy” (for me) in this enemies-to-lovers romance was the hidden truth that Ari needed to understand… but the man knows how to hold a grudge, I’ll give him that.  If you love a passionate romance between two people who complete each other in the best ways, despite their beginning, and a story that will keep you engaged from start to finish, then you’d love Diana and Ari’s story.
