Showing results for "the rival" in Romantic Comedy

I’ve loved him from afar. Though most times he’s only a foot away. I’m smart enough to know he’ll never be anyone’s forever. He checks all the bad boy boxes. If he wasn’t my neighbor and friend, I may have thrown myself at him. Okay, I wouldn’t. Instead, I pathetically savor morsels of moments where I have his sole attention. That was until his archenemy moved in with me. Now suddenly, Dylan’s moving in, too, and warning off the first guy in a long time who’s showing me interest.

Whoever said "keep your enemies close" never had to share a small, dark sound booth with her. Daria Stone is the infuriating host of "Choosing Yourself." The name is almost as ridiculous as the concept. Permanently single? Please. The woman's made a career out of rejecting everything I stand for.

Presley Malone sapeva di dover chiudere con il proprio fidanzato, e alla svelta. Non avrebbe mai pensato che togliersi l'anello dal dito, però, l'avrebbe trasformata nella pedina di un immaturo gioco orchestrato dal suo collega peggiore: Haden Cooper. Lui adora le sfide, e con Presley, tutto diventava fin troppo facile. Di fronte alla sua saccenza e all'aspetto da perfettina, Haden ha intenzione di farle scoprire cosa significhi vivere al di fuori della sua zona di comfort. Ma ciò che inizia come un semplice scherzo in ufficio, ben presto si trasforma in qualcosa di più profondo.

Shaw Daniels is the bane of my existence. Always has been. Always will be. When we were kids, he annoyed me to no end by being good at everything. He didn’t have to study or really even try. Meanwhile, I tried too much and still lost to him. Then when we were teenagers, our rivalry became twisted. He started sabotaging all my relationships. I retaliated by doing the same to him. Now, we’re adults and we should be able to move on. But when I become a physical therapist for his professional hockey team, it seems as though we can’t let go of our rival tendencies.

Lauren Harper wollte vier Dinge. Respekt. Erfolg. Glücklich sein. Und Roman Pierce vernichten. Sicher, er war ein glatter, smarter und sexy Anwalt, der die Seniorpartner ihrer Kanzlei dazu brachte, sich in die Hose zu machen. Aber er war auch ein nerviger, eingebildeter Idiot, mit dem sie konkurrierte, seit sie beide vor über einem Jahr eingestellt worden waren. Und Lauren war es egal, wie umwerfend sein Lächeln war oder wie heiß sein Körper unter dem Anzug aussah.

They say you always want what you can't have. And what I want is Julia La Bella. I'm supposed to hate her with every fiber of my being, but I'll let you in on a little secret.... I don't. Not even close. The woman is stunning. She's also a colossal pain in my...you-know-what. Julia's my number-one competitor in the wine industry and she also happens to live next door. Not a good combination for a guy who's been told to "stay away from her" his whole life. Our parents can't stand each other: a bitter, outdated rivalry with no end in sight.

Lucas Albright wants nothing more than to make partner at his advertising firm, and he knows he works best alone. But then Elena ends up as his partner on an account that could win him a promotion. He's willing to try working as a team. Unfortunately, his new "partner" wants him dead.
