Karma’s coming for me. I never meant to screw over New York’s most notorious billionaire playboy—but now he’s out for revenge.

I’m just your average good girl playing by the rules. But when push comes to shove, and my back is against the wall, I make questionable choices.

I thought I’d never lay eyes on him again after that night.
Boy, was I wrong. Fate has a sick sense of humor.

Now here he is—Connor Quinn, the brooding billionaire I betrayed—glaring at me as our newest PR client.

There’s no way this is going to end well for me.
Connor’s eyes burn with intense vengeance, promising he won’t stop until he gets his payback. And damn, he looks like he’s going to enjoy every minute of it.

I’m so screwed. And not in the fun way.
But here’s the thing: Connor Quinn may be sinfully hot when he’s angry but I’m not going down without a fight.

Empire State Enemies is a dual-point-of-view, standalone, enemies-to-lovers romance with spice, banter, and a happily ever after.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

I’m Rosa, a contemporary romance author based in the UK.

I love crafting stories about strong, sassy heroines who aren’t afraid to speak their minds. These fierce ladies are paired with alpha heroes who are as rugged as they are emotionally guarded.

I have a weakness for specific tropes, such as billionaire alphas with egos the size of their bank accounts, age gap romances that show love defies age, workplace romances that give “office politics” a whole new meaning, enemies-to-lovers stories that make you want to lock the characters in a room until they sort out their feelings, and grumpy-meets-sunshine matchups proving that even the most brooding of men can melt with the right woman by their side.

When I’m not lost in my writing world, you can find me roaming the countryside with my own Happily-Ever-After guy (who refuses to read my books, likely worried he’ll see himself in them, or even worse, not see himself at all) looking for a great hike with a pub at the end.

My books are available in English, German and Polish.

What an amazing read 🤩
🔘Enemies to lovers🔘Reformed playboy🔘Billionaire romanceLexi's financial situation had become dire, forcing her to make a decision that would complicate her life: stealing from the notorious playboy billionaire, Connor Quinn. Unfortunately, fate had other plans when she became the one in charge of cleaning up Connor's image. Now he's onto her, ensuring she never escapes the consequences of her actions.✨Thoughts✨Lexi and Connor had me in stitches with their shenanigans. Their meet-cute was like nothing I've read before! I was instantly hooked. The chemistry between them could ignite a room, and their push and pull dynamic was unexpectedly delightful.Lexi and Connor were fascinating characters. Lexi, with her unwavering devotion to her family, and Connor, the charming billionaire with his hidden layers, were flawed and faced relatable challenges, making them even more endearing.Overall, if you enjoy enemies-to-lovers stories, this book is a must-read. Special thanks to the author for this ARC. All opinions expressed are entirely my own.

Reviewed in the United States on April 10, 2024
The book began promisingly and felt refreshing. For a while, it was unclear which direction the plot would take—whether it would veer towards a fake PR romantic comedy or delve into the struggles with health issues. Ultimately, it attempted both, but the execution fell short.

I wouldn't go as far as to call it terrible, as I did manage to finish it. There were certainly good moments and hilarious situations. However, the issue lay in its lack of balance. The times where the heroine was humiliated by the hero were too many. By the end, I found myself rooting for her to find a decent guy and fulfill her promise of moving on from the hero. As the result, the book felt overly drawn-out and left a somewhat bitter aftertaste. It left me with feeling hat billionaire jerks dominate the world, mistreat women, yet are consistently forgiven and pursued.

This was a book worth reading. It had enough romance, banter, comedy. It got a little boring towards the end but you can skip a couple of pages but still worth it
Reviewed in the United States on July 2, 2024
The way the main characters meet is a new twist. They misjudge each other but slowly learn they just might have been wrong as they move from tolerance to friends to lovers.

This book was honestly perfection, I laughed so many times I had tears rolling down my face.
While there were also some heart reaching moments, it was so mesmerising. I honestly couldn’t put the book down.
The relationship journey was rough with many obstacles in their way, but it was so beautifully written.
Overall an amazing book - I didn’t want it to end.
