190 pages
A tense, emotionally charged workplace romance where past misunderstandings collide with undeniable present chemistry.
What it feels like
This classic contemporary romance delivers a brisk, emotionally charged reading experience built entirely around unresolved tension. The mood is thick with yearning and defensive pride, placing the reader right in the middle of a high-stakes professional dynamic where every boardroom interaction crackles with unspoken history. The prose is accessible and intensely focused on the characters' internal friction, driving the story forward through sharp dialogue and lingering glances rather than heavy exposition. It traces a satisfying arc from guarded resentment to vulnerable surrender, exploring the delicate balance between protecting one's hard-won independence and risking it all for a second chance. It is a perfect, quick escape for readers who devour workplace enemies-to-lovers tropes and the dramatic unravelling of past misunderstandings.

About the book
Heather had reason to feel confident
She'd managed to carve out a successful career as an advertising executive, despite the difficulties of being a single parent. She knew she could handle her latest assignment.
Then she learned that the client was Ryan Jameson, a man who'd never hesitated to make his low opinion of her clear. Heather was determined to keep their relationship strictly business, but this time, it seemed important to show him who she really was.
Heather hadn't been able to justify herself to him five years ago. Should she really try now, when she had so much to lose?
