TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Alma Justin thought heartbreak would look louder.

Crying in public. Screaming phone calls. Closure that made sense.

Instead, it came quietly - across a café table, from a man who had already stopped choosing her.

With nothing left to hold onto but her pride and a mother who refuses to let her fall apart, Alma is forced to start over. New job. New rules. No room for weakness.

But on her very first morning at Baires Dev, she crosses paths with a man who doesn't believe she belongs there - unaware that he's just challenged the only thing she has left: her resolve.

Nick Leicester is powerful, controlled, and unused to being questioned.

Alma is tired of being overlooked.

What begins as resistance turns into tension.
What turns into tension becomes something neither of them planned.

And sometimes, the hardest battles aren't about love -
they're about becoming someone you don't recognize anymore.

A slow-burn workplace romance about heartbreak, ambition, and learning how to choose yourself.
