Stranded With My Boss

He saw her pain. She never looked at him.

A single, miserable business trip. A storm. A single bed.

For years, Evelyn Reed was the quiet, organized fixture at Sterling Corp, engaged to her ambitious coworker, Mark. Now, she's the office pariah-betrayed by Mark and her best-friend-turned-rival, Sarah, and labeled the jealous, unstable "other woman" in a lie they meticulously spun. Evelyn is broken, scorned, and desperate to disappear.

Her salvation comes in the form of a dreaded factory inspection trip to the remote north, led by her ice-cold, supremely capable CEO, Julian Sterling. Julian is formidable, intensely private, and commands silence with a single glance. He sees the storm raging behind Evelyn's carefully constructed walls, but she refuses to meet his gaze.

The plane ride is tense, but the landing is disastrous. Stranded by a sudden, brutal snowstorm in an unequipped rural town, they are forced into close quarters. No clothes, no heat, just one small room with one shared bed in a forgotten inn.

Julian, the man who owns corporations, is suddenly just a man-warm, protective, and determined to keep her alive. The night they spend fighting hypothermia rips down all their professional boundaries. When the morning comes, everything has changed, and Evelyn discovers the man she ran from might be the only man who truly sees her.

He said he'd take responsibility. She had to decide if she could take a chance.
