A meet-cute gone wrong is the start of a surprising courtship in this fresh, modern take on the workplace romance from debut author Ruby Barrett
Corrine Blunt knows what people think of herâsheâs an icy, unapproachable executive. Itâs the price sheâs had to pay to get to the top. But thereâs knowing you have a reputation in the office, and thereâs hearing your new intern laugh when someone calls you âBlunt the C*ntâ in the elevator on his first day.
Sheâd hoped to finally find an ally in Wesley Chambers, but sheâs not about to let him off the hook for joining the office boysâ club. Taking refuge in the professional boundaries between them, she relegates Wes to assistant workâwhich would do the trick, if he werenât so eager to prove heâs a decent human being.
Wes is sincerely apologetic, insisting it was a misunderstanding, and to her surprise, Corrine believes him. Being forced to work together was one thing, but long hours at the office with what turns out to be a kind, thoughtful man soon has their business relationship turning personal, and things get complicatedâfast. Could this be something more serious than either of them dared to hope for? Or is their relationship just playing into the harmful power dynamics Corrineâs had to endure her entire career?
