A no-strings fling was all it was supposed to be… until the morning after changed everything. Emily Johnson never expected the man who left her breathless to already be part of her world. They’ve worked at the same company for years but never crossed paths—until now. Focused, driven, and fiercely independent, she’s built her career on keeping things strictly professional. Dating a colleague? Absolutely not. But walking away from Aaron Hale isn’t as easy as it should be. Their connection runs deeper than she anticipated, and avoiding him at work proves impossible. As tension builds and the line between personal and professional begins to blur, Emily is forced to choose—risk her career for a chance at something real or keep her heart safely guarded behind office walls. Because once boundaries are crossed, there’s no going back.
