I showed up to fix a crisis… and found myself sharing more than just data with the grumpy CEO who caused half of it.

I know, I know; getting hired to clean up a hotel’s cyber–meltdown should not end with me obsessing over the CEO’s dangerously charming scowl. But Derrick Adler gets under my skin like a glitch I can’t debug.

He’s my boss.
He’s impossible to read.
And he’s definitely not supposed to make my pulse jump when he says my name.

Then a sabotage attempt forces me to work from his office.
Hours stretch into nights, and the tension between us feels hotter than the servers I’m supposed to secure.

I see the vulnerabilities he hides when his daughter is around us, and somewhere between chasing a hacker and dodging his smirk, I fall for the one man I absolutely shouldn’t.

But when the leak goes public and the blame lands on me, everything burns.
If I stay, I could lose my career.
If I walk away, I could lose him.

Losing Derrick could be the one thing that breaks me and my firewall.
