Aiden
Everything in Aiden Sullivan’s career has brought him to this moment.
New job. New city. New company.
As the youngest V.P. in Appeal Media’s history, he’s got a lot to prove—there’s no room for error.
Getting involved with an employee would be a mistake. Getting involved with Abigail Summers would be a disaster.
She’s too young. Too sweet. Worst of all, she’s his new executive assistant.
This relationship has the word “forbidden” written all over it.
He didn’t leave his tight-knit family behind in L.A. just to destroy his career. But Aiden can’t stop thinking about the curvy, lavender-haired woman who sits outside his office door every day.
Except one forbidden moment leads to more. And Aiden finds it impossible to push their relationship back into professional territory.
When reality comes knocking, and the price of their choices must be paid, can Aiden afford to follow his heart without giving up everything he’s worked for?
Abbie
When the combination of her best friend, an ordinary staff meeting and an iced coffee result in an unexpected promotion, Abigail Summers finds her quiet, safe existence turned upside down.
New job. New office. New boss.
Change is Abbie’s nightmare. Anxiety is a part of her daily reality. She longs to be free of the self-doubt that holds her back from living life to its fullest.
Keeping the status quo helps her feel in control of her world. Her entry-level job, her best friends, her cat, and her books are all she needs.
Until the handsome, older Aiden Sullivan unravels her carefully crafted life.
Dating the boss is a catastrophe waiting to happen. So why can’t she get Aiden out of her head?

📑Review📑
Aiden has worked hard to achieve the success he has when it comes to his career, so he doesn’t want to do anything to jeopardize it as he has other people depending on him as well. The one surprise he never saw coming was his feelings for his executive assistant as she should be off limits for multiple reasons.
The curveballs that life keeping throwing at Abbie does add some tension, but she perseveres and makes the best of every situation. Not only does she have concerns about her job as Aiden’s executive assistant but getting involved with her boss will not end well but some rewards just might be worth the risk.
I really enjoyed the characters of Aiden and Abbie as they both had their struggles, but they didn’t let them define them. Even though they had some setbacks along the way they were there for each other and helped each other pursue their dreams both when it came to love and life.
