At twenty-four, Skye thought finishing school would feel like freedom. Instead, it feels like standing at the edge of something she isn't sure she can survive. When she lands a job at one of the most powerful publishing companies in the city, she tells herself it's just work. Just a stepping stone.
Her new boss is nothing like her. At thirty-six, the CEO is disciplined, distant, and relentlessly devoted to her company. Emotions are a liability. Control is everything. Skye is hired to assist her, to stay quiet, to keep up-and to never become personal.
But long days, shared silences, and moments that slip through the cracks begin to blur the lines. Skye's carefully hidden struggles start to surface, and the woman who built her life on order is forced to confront something she never planned for: vulnerability, in someone else and in herself.
As ambition collides with intimacy, both women must decide what they are willing to risk-for their careers, for their carefully constructed lives, and for each other.

Ms. Deloera
She spilled coffee on a stranger. She didn't know she was falling into her orbit. Ivy Moore is twenty-two, restless, and quietly unraveling beneath the weight of expectations she never chose. The daughter of a respected doctor, she has everything she needs-on paper. But between university lectures and long shifts at a campus café she doesn't need but insists on keeping, Ivy feels adrift. Until one wrong step lands her in the path of Celeste Deloera. Elegant. Untouchable. Dangerous in stillness. Celeste is not just Ivy's literature professor-she's also the editor-in-chief of the world's most exclusive fashion and culture magazine. Cold and precise, Celeste rules every room she enters. So when Ivy unknowingly applies for a job as her personal assistant, she finds herself pulled into Celeste's tightly controlled world of power, beauty, and brutal expectations. But working beside Celeste is nothing like Ivy imagined. It's long nights, sharp silences, stolen glances, and unspoken rules. And the longer Ivy stays, the more the lines blur-between obedience and desire, between curiosity and obsession, between what's allowed and what's already begun. Now, Ivy lives in two realities: one where she's the quiet student at the back of the classroom... and another where she walks two steps behind Celeste through velvet-curtained galas and midnight boardrooms. Close enough to feel her. Never close enough to know her. What begins as admiration becomes fascination. Fascination becomes obsession. And obsession, Ivy learns, always has a cost. In a world ruled by secrets, silence, and stares held a second too long, love is not gentle. It stares you down. And dares you to follow.
