Zuma is a high level marketing executive. Intelligent, ambitious, and manipulative, she's powered her way up the corporate ladder and into a cozy corner office. Being the only black woman at her level at Shearing Wireless has its drawbacks, and Zuma's had to get her hands a little dirty to stay at the top. Suddenly, all of her hard work might now be in jeopardy, thanks to a company merger and a pesky intern named Iris Pena.
Iris is just trying to satisfy her internship requirement - or at least that's what she keeps telling herself. Beautiful, young, and vivacious, Iris manages to charm Shearing Wireless in ways that the stunning, yet cold, Zuma Harris could never hope. Juggling corporate espionage, a blooming love life, and issues with her increasingly handsome best friend are becoming more than she can handle. Does Iris have what it takes to go toe-to-toe with her conniving mentor? And will she be able to do it without breaking a few hearts on the way?

Ella Carter, with her soft eyes and warm smile, isn't like the people he's used to. She doesn't fawn over his status or try to impress him. Instead, she simply cleans the mess, gives him a polite nod, and walks away-leaving him utterly captivated. For fifteen days, Damian returns to the café at the same time, just to see her from afar. He doesn't know why. He doesn't even know her name. But something about her makes his carefully controlled world feel unsteady. Then fate takes control. Ella walks into Blackwood Enterprises for an interview, only to realize the man from the café-the one who had been haunting her thoughts-is her new boss. Damian is thrilled but keeps his emotions locked away, offering her the job with a professional mask. As they spend more time together, the tension between them grows.
