Des étincelles sous le gui

The enemies-to-lovers trope can sometimes become predictable, so I’m curious how the author kept their chemistry fresh and engaging throughout.

The festive backdrop really amplified the romantic sparks, but I wonder if the story would have felt different in a non-holiday setting.

It’s a popular combo, but I’d love to know if the author had a particular moment or idea that sparked this mash-up for them.
