A Dubious Integration (mxm | mlm)

Nathaniel Reed's always had a plan: graduate top of his class, climb the corporate ladder, and never let anyone see him sweat. Now, at 25, he's the youngest candidate up for Associate Partner at Stern & Teller LLP-and barely holding it together. After a breakup, a brutal project streak, and a suspiciously well-timed internal shakeup, he's one espresso shot away from a full breakdown.

Enter Leif Haugland: composed, competitive, and quietly terrifying. At 34, Leif has spent years keeping his emotions buried under perfect tailoring and polished decks. He doesn't get distracted. He doesn't get flustered. And he definitely doesn't get involved with coworkers, especially not ones who challenge his position and his pulse rate.

But when a chance encounter on a night out turns into a surprise work assignment, the two are forced to navigate long hours, late nights, and the increasingly inconvenient question of why they can't seem to stand each other... or stop thinking about one another.
