Elevator Ride
2025
Twenty-six floors. Two professionals. Sometimes love only needs one Elevator Ride…
Vivian Kaye has been tasked with serving a cease-and-desist letter to Rowan Valkyrie—the most hated tenant in Seattle’s Hoskins building. But when the ambitious paralegal ambushes the seasoned security expert in the elevator, she ignites a powder keg of tempers and attraction.
Rowan and Vivian clash like only a twenty-something progressive and a forty-something ex-Marine can, but when one misstep sends Vivian flailing into Rowan’s arms, the pair also find themselves tumbling into a secret office romance. Vivian is soon head-over-heels for the older CEO, but thanks to the efforts of a conniving coworker, she worries that he might not take her seriously. When things come to a head the night of Vivian’s biggest work event, the gaps between them start to feel too large. But before Rowan can fix things, a shocking attack puts Vivian in the cross-hairs of a mysterious assailant.
Heartbroken, Vivian is determined to deny her feelings and put all her energy into catching her attacker. And Rowan is desperate to protect Vivian because unless he can push all the right buttons, this elevator ride might be going straight down.

Forest, a construction magnate and real estate developer is desperate for a nanny—but Chloe, with her purple hair and unconventional ways, isn’t what he had in mind. Still, after a chance encounter and a surprising connection, Forest begrudgingly hires her to care for his young son, Olly. As Chloe brings her unique blend of heart and expertise to the job, Forest begins to see her not as the "weirdo" he once thought, but as someone he can trust—and maybe even love. But Chloe’s past is never far behind, and as family secrets, dangerous confrontations, and shocking revelations unfold, Forest and Chloe must decide if they can build a future together or if the weight of their pasts will tear them apart. Forest always wants safety, and Chloe always follows her heart, but unless the duo can learn to work together, Olly may not get the parents he deserves and Chloe and Forest may always be stuck between floors.
