<\/p>\n
The feud between Weston Lockwood and me started at the altar.<\/p>\n
Only neither of us attended the wedding, and the nuptials happened decades before either of us was born.<\/p>\n
Our grandfathers had been best friends and business partners, at least up until my grandfather\u2019s wedding day\u2014when his bride-to-be blurted out she couldn\u2019t marry him because she was also in love with Weston\u2018s grandfather.<\/p>\n
The two men spent years fighting over Grace Copeland, who also happened to be their third business partner.\u00a0 But in the end, neither man could steal half of her heart away from the other.<\/p>\n
Eventually, they all went their separate ways. Our grandfathers married other women, and the two men became one of the biggest business rivals in history.<\/p>\n
Our fathers continued the family tradition of feuding. And then Weston and I did, too.<\/p>\n
For the most part, we kept as much distance as possible.<\/p>\n
Until the day the woman who started the feud died\u2014and unexpectedly left one of the most valuable hotels in the world to our grandfathers to share.<\/p>\n
Now I\u2019m stuck in a hotel with the man I was born to hate, trying to unravel the mess our families inherited.<\/p>\n
As usual, it didn\u2019t take long for us to be at each other\u2019s throats.<\/p>\n
Weston Lockwood was everything I hated: tall, smart, cocky, and too gorgeous for his own good.<\/p>\n
We were fire and ice.<\/p>\n
But that shouldn\u2019t be an issue. Our families were used to being at war. There was just one minor problem, though. Every time Weston and I fought, we somehow wound up in bed.<\/p>\n
