Description

📖 Paperback Edition — His financial life is a disaster. His accountant is about to become his obsession.

Jules Marchetti is a twenty-eight-year-old graphic designer whose creative genius is matched only by his financial catastrophe. Three years of unfiled taxes. An IRS collection case. Receipts stored in a shoebox—and occasionally in his oven. When his sister forces him into the offices of Kensington & Associates, Jules expects a lecture, a payment plan, and a swift exit.

He doesn’t expect Arthur Kensington.

Arthur is thirty-eight, immaculate, and controlled to the point of pathology. His suits are bespoke. His desk is mahogany. His forearms when he rolls his sleeves should be classified as a threat to public safety. He’s the most competent man Jules has ever met—and competence, it turns out, is Jules’s biggest weakness.

What begins as a professional engagement—structured sessions, strict deadlines, consequences for noncompliance—evolves into something neither of them planned. Arthur’s commands quiet the noise in Jules’s head. Jules’s chaos cracks the walls Arthur has spent a lifetime building. The mahogany desk witnesses things no piece of office furniture should have to witness.

But Arthur has a rival partner building a case against him. A past relationship that taught him love is a transaction. And the professional ethics violation of falling for a client during an active engagement—a violation that could destroy his career, his reputation, and everything he’s built.
