"Roses for his Rival" by Jax Burrows is a delightful dive into the cutthroat world of corporate ambition, spiced with a simmering romance that will keep readers turning pages late into the night. At its heart are Leah Fitzpatrick and Harrison J. Bentley, two formidable contenders vying for the coveted CEO position of the newly merged Bentley Fitzpatrick Enterprises. Their history is as tangled as their families' long-standing rivalry, marked by a memorable, if unwelcome, encounter at Leah's eighteenth birthday party a decade prior.
Leah Fitzpatrick and Harrison J Bentley want the same thing - to be the next CEO of the newly merged company Bentley Fitzpatrick Enterprises.
The last time they saw each other was ten years previously when Harrison gatecrashed Leah's eighteenth birthday party. A night Leah will never forget. The families have always been bitter rivals, but now they must work together for the future of their new company. As Leah gets to know Harrison better, her mistrust and animosity turns to liking and respect. Until Monique Devereux, Harrison's old lover, appears back in his life.
Harrison has always thought of Leah as "Daddy's little Princess", enjoying an easy ride in the company by virtue of her position as daughter to the present CEO. He swiftly revises his opinion of her when he realises how competent she is.
No matter what their feelings are for each other, they are still rivals. Who will win? And how much of a threat does Monique Devereux pose to Leah's future plans?

The narrative thrives on the initial animosity and evolving respect between Leah and Harrison. Leah, initially viewing Harrison with deep mistrust, slowly begins to see beyond his family name to the competent and compelling man beneath. Harrison, on the other hand, harbors preconceived notions of Leah as "Daddy's little Princess," a perception that swiftly crumbles as he witnesses her sharp intellect and undeniable business acumen. This shift in their dynamic, from competitive adversaries to reluctant allies, forms a compelling core for the story.
Just as their professional rivalry begins to soften into something more personal, the arrival of Monique Devereux, Harrison’s former lover, injects a potent dose of tension. Her reappearance poses a significant threat, not just to Leah's burgeoning feelings for Harrison, but also to her career aspirations. Burrows masterfully weaves together themes of corporate maneuvering, personal growth, and the complexities of navigating love amidst intense competition. The burning question remains: who will ultimately secure the CEO role, and can their budding romance survive the cutthroat environment and the specter of Harrison’s past? Roses for His Rival is a captivating read for anyone who enjoys a blend of boardroom drama and passionate romance.
