First published 1995 · 188 pages
A crackling battle of wills where past regrets collide with present-day boardroom tension and undeniable chemistry.
What it feels like
Reading this classic nineties romance feels like stepping into a delightfully charged time capsule of boardroom battles and simmering unresolved tension. The narrative moves at a brisk, engaging clip, driven almost entirely by the crackling dialogue and the heavy, unspoken history between two people who have never quite gotten over each other. It balances a cozy, nostalgic atmosphere with the sharp edge of a workplace power imbalance, making every negotiation feel like foreplay. The prose is unpretentious and sharply focused on the emotional push-and-pull, drawing the reader deep into the heroine's struggle between her sensible nature and her long-buried desires. It is a perfect comfort read for anyone who loves the delicious angst of a second-chance romance where the stakes are both professional and deeply personal.
