Synopsis

First crush. First kiss. First nemesis. As kids, Alex Boyd and I were best friends. Until my crush sparked a kiss and our friendship went up in flames. Years of flip-flopping between avoidance and antagonizing turned into... well, us. Now, anything I can do Alex can do better. Raise money for charity? Run a marathon? Sail a regatta? Alex is there and besting me. I’m determined to keep him out of my blossoming new photography career. But thanks to our meddling mothers, Alex winds up on a safari in South Africa with me. Same trip. Same tent. Same bed. Things are about to get wild. A novella in the Love and Wanderlust series, The Rival in South Africa is a forced proximity romance between childhood crushes who ignite into something deeper. This stand-alone contemporary romance is perfect for everyone who wants their wanderlust to continue into the happily-ever-after. This book was originally published in the Hate Me Like You Mean It anthology. There have been minor changes.
