Think of it as a test drive for audiobooks. Every episode gives you a generous chunk of one of our novels in full audio, so you can climb into the story before you commit. Real chapters. Real narration. Real “it’s 2 a.m. and I’m rereading a fictional performance review.”
What You’ll Hear in This Episode
The first five chapters take you from a first-day briefing to the first time “stay late” stops meaning work — and then leave you standing at the office door. (We’re not sorry.)
The CEO. Adrian Cross, thirty-eight, runs Cross & Mercer Capital the way he runs his life — controlled, disciplined, untouchable. He writes the rules. He hasn’t let anyone close in six years, and he considers that a system working as designed.
The problem. Liam Carter, twenty-seven, wasn’t hired to be a problem. He was hired to be competent, and he is — devastatingly. The kind of competent Adrian notices. The kind of noticing Adrian doesn’t do.
The proximity. Late deals mean late nights. Late nights mean two men and a glass-walled office and the eighteen inches of professional distance getting measurably smaller every week. The praise starts sounding less like feedback and more like something Liam replays on the train home.
The word. And then one night, at the end of a meeting that should have ended an hour ago, Adrian says “stay” — and both of them hear exactly what it actually means. That’s where we leave you.
