Fatima Wilson is a high-powered CEO with a voice-activated penthouse, a spotless reputation, and an even icier wall around her heart. She built her empire brick by brick-and there's no room for distractions. Not love. Not vulnerability. Not anyone who dares to scratch beneath her surface.
Zachary Taylor is a successful entrepreneur, devoted father to a two-year-old son, and too charming for his own good. When business puts him face-to-face with Atlanta's most infamous "ice queen," he's intrigued, then drawn in, and eventually-completely captivated.
They're bound by business. But tension simmers in every stolen glance, every off-the-clock encounter, and every moment where the line between professional and personal starts to blur.
She doesn't do emotions. He doesn't back down.
And neither of them expected this.
Between late-night texts, elevator malfunctions, quiet aquarium dates, and smoky confessions, Fatima and Zac are forced to confront the truth: some connections can't be ignored... even if they're inconvenient, intense, and feel like everything you swore you'd never need.
But love?
Love isn't supposed to be the exception.
Unless it is.
