​They met in a club, flirted, and kissed. A week later, they met again, but this time in college-not as classmates, but as a Literature professor and her student. Eva was stunned to see Ashley, but she played it cool throughout the class. Everything was going well until Ashley, or rather Ms. Woods, called her to talk. They had an agreement to keep their relationship professional, because they couldn't openly pursue it. But what will happen when jealousy enters the picture, and Eva starts acting like a brat when she sees Ashley with another woman at the club? ​Will Ms. Woods be able to manage Eva's "brattiness," or will she, too, fall victim to the emotional turmoil?

After four years studying journalism in California, she returns to New York - only to fall into bed with a stranger her second night back. The next morning, she walks into an interview at Farrow Publishing and discovers that same woman is Elowyn Farrow: her new boss's boss, part of the same tangled friend group, and the most dangerously magnetic person in her orbit. Elowyn is sharp, controlled, and always one step ahead - at work, in life, and in bed. Aurora refuses to submit, but resisting Elowyn becomes harder when they keep circling each other in meetings, parties, and the woman whose touch still burns on her skin. It's not just a workplace romance. It's a power struggle. And Aurora's about to find out what it costs to hold her ground.
