For Professional Reasons

Free with Kindle Unlimited

They kept saying it was just work. The problem was how good it felt when it stopped being work.

Mara Finch doesn’t get flustered. She’s worked too hard and moved too far to let a new job rattle her. But her new boss Devon Hart doesn’t rattle people. She dismantles them — with calm eyes, a low voice, and praise so precise it feels like a hand on the back of your neck.

Devon doesn’t do this. She doesn’t schedule unnecessary check-ins, doesn’t let her eyes linger, doesn’t find reasons to close the door. She’s spent fifteen years being the composed one, the untouchable one, the one nobody gets under.

Mara is getting under.

What starts as professional feedback turns into private attention. What starts as private attention turns into late nights, closed doors, and the kind of conversations that have nothing to do with work and everything to do with how hard Mara tries to hold still when Devon tells her she’s done well.

They both know the rules. They both know the risk. They both keep finding reasons to break every single one.
