Elliot Miles is nicknamed the Casanova by the press; he has a well earned reputation. He avoids relationships due to his noteritey. He has spent his life collecting art and is obsessed with a "mystery artist". Kate works in the IT department of Miles Media. Elliot is not only her boss, but they also hate each other.
The reason why they hated each other is pretty weak. When Kate first started working at Miles Media she complimented his eyes, he took it as her hitting on him, and told her off. They have hated each other since.
Kate is hard headed, independent, and hardworking. She is a realist and doesn't put up with Elliot's crap. She has lost so many people she loves and has a hard time letting people in.
Elliot is agrogant and can be mean, but he also has a side of him that is thoughtful and kind. He is a typical man, he hates Kate until he sees her in her short netball dress, then he decides that she is attractive and he wants her. I got really annoyed with his mood swings and how he just couldn't make up his mind with what he wanted.
I thought the twist at the end was a good one, but it was definitely rushed. Also, Elliot did not have to grovel enough. He made a shitty and hurtful decision that really hurt Kate. She should have made him work harder for her forgiveness.
Tropes: enemies to lovers, billionaire, workplace romance
