Cocky Score
by King, Kenna
Cocky Score leans hard into the friction that happens when two people who are clearly meant for each other refuse to admit it. Set in a small town with a workplace dynamic that keeps the tension high, the story centers on the collision between a hero who is as confident as he is stubborn and a heroine who refuses to be intimidated. The pacing is snappy, relying heavily on sharp, witty exchanges that make the forced proximity feel less like a trope and more like a playground for their growing attraction. It is a lighthearted, passionate read that prioritizes fun and chemistry over heavy angst. If you enjoy stories where the banter is just as important as the bedroom scenes and you prefer your romance with a side of playful rivalry, this will be right up your alley.
