Taylor's dream job at a Silicon Valley startup comes with a catch: she must out-code Alex, her infuriatingly charming opponent, to keep it. But when rivalry sparks romance, their careers—and hearts—are put on the line. Work-life balance? Never heard of her. #LuckyPit #PopUpPitA #PopUpPit #A #R #CR

An agent's guide to Merge Conflict, a 82,000 word contemporary romance by Emily Lim Pitch: Software engineer Taylor McCan must outperform her charismatic coworker Alex in a 90-day competition for one dream job –but when the pair are assigned the same project, they fight over everything from code to office conduct, and as the deadline looms, Taylor realizes Alex may be her match in more than just technical skill. Comps: The Hating Game by Sally Thorne, Silicon Hearts by Robin Miyashita and R. K. Moravee, Love Interest by Clare Gilmore Tropes: Enemies to lovers, she's grumpy, he's sunshine, work rivals, forced proximity, job competition Merge Conflict (n): An error encountered when two software engineers make simultaneous and irreconcilable changes to the same line of code. Chapter One I have a bad habit of showing up early. Contrary to popular belief, people are more likely to resent the way I highlight their tardiness than respect my commitment to punctuality. Which is why I’m standing in the parking lot of my new job, sweat pooling underneath my polyester blazer, waiting for the clock to strike nine.
