FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Ryder Tombs Launches Slow-Burn Rivals-to-Lovers Romance
Hostile Takeover Delivers Sharp Banter, Corporate Tension, and Queer Longing
Monterey, CA – April 22, 2025 — Author Ryder Tombs is proud to announce the release of his latest novel, Hostile Takeover, a sharp and emotionally immersive MM romance that pits two ambitious rivals against the one thing they can’t outmaneuver: each other.
Owen Cross is all control, power suits, and ruthless focus. Luke Ramirez is charm, confidence, and chaos in business-casual. Their rivalry has always been personal—but when a high-stakes project forces them into close collaboration, the lines between competition and connection begin to blur.
As sparks fly behind boardroom doors and long nights turn intimate, their carefully guarded facades start to crack. But just as they begin to surrender to what they’ve denied for years, a corporate sabotage plot threatens not only the company—but the fragile trust they’ve begun to build.
“It’s not about winning anymore. Not when losing him feels worse.”
Told with razor-sharp dialogue, slow-burn tension, and emotional vulnerability, Hostile Takeover explores what happens when ambition collides with attraction—and whether two men built to compete can learn how to choose each other instead.
