Overview
A sharp-tongued heroine, a brooding ex-Navy SEAL, and ninety days of tension that refuse to stay professional — Laura Pavlov's Only Mine is enemies-to-lovers at its most irresistible.
Wolf Wayburn is the kind of man who fills a room before he even walks into it. Devastating in an Armani suit, used to getting his way, and absolutely not someone you want as an enemy. Too bad the first time he and Daisy crossed paths, she flipped him off at a gas station and made a pointed comment about his ego — among other things.
Their second encounter was even worse. Wolf tried to get her fired. He threw his best shot, and she refused to go down.
Now she has ninety days to prove herself. Ninety days to convince the big, bad Wolf that she belongs in the job — and that he's wrong about her. Simple enough, except nothing about Wolf Wayburn is simple.
He's stubborn. He's broody. He's infuriatingly charming when he wants to be. And the more time she spends in his orbit, the harder it becomes to keep the lines clean.
They taunt each other. They push and test and needle, week after week. She tells herself it's just the job. He tells himself the same thing.
But ninety days is a long time to keep pretending that what's between them is only rivalry.
And hating Wolf Wayburn? It turns out that's a lot harder than it sounds.

Reader FAQs
The tension builds steadily across a structured ninety-day timeline, with consistent push-and-pull between the leads. The rivalry drives most of the pacing, so readers who prefer a drawn-out buildup before any romantic payoff will find the structure satisfying.
It shares Vi Keeland's sharp banter and antagonistic workplace dynamic, but leans more heavily into the grumpy/sunshine contrast. Wolf's ex-military background and Daisy's refusal to be intimidated give the tension a specific power-imbalance flavour Keeland readers will recognise.
The emotional weight centres on pride, self-worth, and grudging respect rather than heavy personal trauma. It is character-driven but not emotionally exhausting — the dominant register is sharp wit and mounting tension with underlying vulnerability on both sides.
The book carries a high spice level and includes a combative dynamic with explicit romantic content between adults. Readers sensitive to workplace power imbalance scenarios should note that the hero initially attempts to have the heroine removed from her position.
The ninety-day probationary structure gives the rivals a fixed, ticking-clock framework that most enemies-to-lovers setups lack. The heroine holds genuine professional ground rather than softening early, and the hero's ex-SEAL background adds a specific kind of control-versus-defiance tension.
