When Dominic takes on the role of personal assistant to CEO Tristan Maxwell, he's convinced he's immune to the man's charm—after all, beneath that designer suit is an arrogant jerk who's easy enough to avoid. But forced into close quarters, Dominic discovers that Tristan is frustratingly funny, surprisingly genuine, and nothing like the shallow executive he'd written off. A drunken moment of weakness and a shocking revelation about Tristan's personal life shift everything between them, turning heated antagonism into an undeniable connection that neither of them can quite resist. As lines blur between professional and personal, Dominic finds himself wrestling with the very real possibility that he might have to risk everything—his job, his principles, and his carefully guarded heart—for a chance at something real with the one person he swore he'd never fall for.
Reading soundtrack
Electric tension melting into tenderness. Witty banter set to indie pop and alt-rock. Slow-building chemistry with lush vocals. Modern love songs balancing humor and vulnerability—think Arctic Monkeys, Hozier, boygenius, The 1975. Intimate, playful, achingly sincere.
