Mia Harper is on the verge of a new beginning. In her last week at her current company, she's excited to take the next step in her career at Sinclair Industries. A hardworking and confident Client Relationship Associate with big dreams of opening her own restaurant, Mia's journey is about to take a surprising turn. Though still healing from a past relationship that left her heart bruised, Mia never expected to find herself drawn to her enigmatic new CEO, Ryan Sinclair.
Ryan Sinclair has it all-the looks, the power, and the wealth. But behind his polished exterior, he carries the weight of a complicated past that keeps him emotionally guarded. He isn't looking for love, especially not from someone like Mia, who seems to have a way of breaking down all his walls with her quick wit and charm.
Mia's confident and outspoken nature makes her impossible to resist, but Ryan's past makes him hesitant to act on their undeniable chemistry. With a growing connection and a workplace setting that blurs all boundaries, can Mia and Ryan find a way to turn their slow-burn romance into something real? Or will their pasts and secrets get in the way of their happiness?
