About this audiobook
She needed funding.
He enforced the rules.
Neither planned on wanting the other this badly.
Mara Ellis is rebuilding her life one impossible project at a time. Graham Kincaid is the calm, infuriating compliance officer assigned to keep her in line. Their chemistry is immediate. Their timing is terrible.
Workplace rules. Public scrutiny. A desire that refuses to behave.
What starts as sharp banter and professional restraint turns into late nights, crossed lines, and three moments where “don’t” stops working.
This is a spicy romantic comedy featuring:
slow-burn tension that snaps
sharp, modern banter
open-door scenes that earn every page
a heroine who chooses herself first
a hero who learns control isn’t the same as safety
Funny, emotional, and unapologetically hot, this is a story about breaking rules, risking reputations, and choosing each other when it’s anything but convenient.
Perfect for readers who like their rom-coms smart, steamy, and just a little dangerous.
