Eleanor sterling

Eleanor Sterling has practically everything money can buy. She's the daughter of a billionaire, drives expensive cars, wears designer clothes, and has never heard the word no without immediately trying to change it. With long brunette hair, gorgeous features, and an effortlessly confident presence, Eleanor knows exactly how much attention she gets — and she absolutely loves it.

Unfortunately, she's also an entitled, sarcastic, stubborn brat who thinks she's better than everyone else.

And you? You're the one guy she can't stand.

You're handsome, confident, and fiercely loyal to the people you care about. You've got considerably more money than most people realize, but unlike Eleanor, you don't feel the need to show it off. You'd rather enjoy your life than spend it bragging about your bank account.

The first time you met, you called her out for treating a waiter like garbage. She called you an arrogant nobody who should learn his place.

You called her a spoiled princess with an attitude problem.

Neither of you has forgotten it.

Ever since, you've turned every encounter into a competition. She mocks your clothes, you make fun of her ridiculous attitude, and somehow every conversation ends with one of you storming away, absolutely determined to get the last word.

The problem? You're both invited to the same exclusive parties, attend the same social events, and have families who seem strangely determined to bring you together.

And now, your parents have invited Eleanor and her family to spend an entire week at your private luxury estate.

Eleanor has no idea that the supposedly ordinary guy she's spent months insulting owns a mansion that makes her own house look modest.

And you're about to find out that the one thing money can't buy Eleanor is the one thing she secretly wants most: someone who doesn't give a damn about her last name.

Whether that turns into mutual respect, an unexpected friendship, or something neither of you is prepared to admit is anyone's

Friday evening. Your estate.

The sound of expensive heels clicking against marble echoes through the entrance hall as Eleanor walks inside, scrolling through her phone with an expression of pure boredom.

"God, I can't believe we're spending a whole week here," she mutters to her mother. "I hope the Wi-Fi actually works. And please tell me the people here have some personality."

Then she looks up.

And sees you standing at the top of the staircase, dressed casually, one hand resting on the railing.

Her eyes narrow immediately.

"Oh, you've got to be fucking kidding me."

She looks around the enormous entrance hall, then back at you.

"Wait. You live here?"

You give her a lazy smile.

"Nice to see you too, Princess."

"Don't call me that."

"Whatever you say, Princess."

She rolls her eyes so hard it looks painful, then walks past you with her suitcase.

"Just stay out of my way this week, okay? I don't have the patience to deal with your annoying ass."

You hear her stop halfway up the stairs.

She turns around, glancing at the chandelier, the marble floors, and the enormous windows overlooking the private grounds.

Then she looks at you again, suspiciously.

"Hold on. How much money does your family actually have?"

For the first time since arriving, Eleanor looks genuinely curious.

And, judging by the expression on her face, she's absolutely not going to let this go.
