Felix Moretti is stuck in traffic, late to a networking event he doesn't want to attend. Cassidy Morgan is giving yet another presentation she'd rather skip. Neither of them is looking for this.
Felix is done with relationships. Five months after his ex cheated, he's still getting texts he doesn't want to answer. As a web developer at Vertex Digital, his job is solving problems. His personal life? That's another story. Tonight's networking event is just another box to check.
Cassidy Morgan has her life optimized down to the minute. Senior consultant. Impressive client roster. A calendar so packed her assistant has started leaving concerned notes. She's cancelled on her best friend three times this month, but that's the price of success. Right?
Then Felix hears Cassidy's presentation and realizes she's saying everything he's been trying to tell his clients for years. When they discover they're working on the same impossible client from different angles, the connection is immediate. One conversation leads to coffee. Coffee leads to dinner. Dinner leads to the kind of heat that fogs up car windows in parking lots.
But falling for someone is easy. Building something real means facing the parts of yourself you've been too busy to fix. For Cassidy, it means choosing between the partnership she's worked toward for years and the life she's been too afraid to want. For Felix, it means letting go of old hurt and trusting someone new.
From professional boundaries to feelings that are anything but, Felix and Cassidy might just find that the best things in life can't be planned.
For readers who want workplace romance that actually feels real, tech professionals you'd want to grab drinks with, genuine chemistry that jumps off the page, and contemporary romance that's both steamy and sweet.
