Amore a contratto

The trope feels intense and fraught — I wonder if the author wanted to explore themes of control and vulnerability through this setup.

Their enemies-to-lovers dynamic made me wonder how much of their chemistry was real vs. manufactured by circumstances. Am I the only one who felt conflicted?

The pacing kept me hooked, but I’m curious whether it was a conscious choice to develop romance alongside the external conflicts or if it evolved naturally.
