description: Theyre not going to pay me I have no idea what my job is and I have to spend the next six months in a cage match with Satan in Chuck Taylors. I can already feel the blistering hatred thats about to break out between us like the tingle before a herpes sore. When River OSullivan meets Benjamn Reyes at a job interview for a Houston tech firm its loathing at first sight. River thinks Ben is a spoiled snotty rich brat who knows far too well that hes gorgeous while Ben dismisses rough Philly kid River as a hypersensitive pathological liar who dresses like a dollar store Tyler Durden. To make matters worse they are forced to together in competition for an unpaid internship at a workplace so lousy with corporate jargon and motivational nonsense that neither of them knows what the company even does or what theyre supposed to be doing there beyond picking up after their slimy boss Blairs dog. Its only when River and Ben finally admit to each other that they have no idea what their jobs are that they realise their pure and uncomplicated hatred of each other is the one small island of sanity theyre clinging to in their lunatic workplace. And that said hatred would be much better focused on Blair. As hate gives way to grudging respect and affection River begins to wonder if he could ever get Ben to consider him as more than just an unlikely friend or if thats a thing that would never happen even if River was the last single man in Texas. Dog theft revenge porn corporate skullduggery and a deeply regrettable incident with an electric banana  its all going on in this enemies to lovers slow burn romance.
