Summary
“Hi. Welcome in,” she said, voice smooth and professional despite the flutter under her ribs. “I’m Helen Sharp, CEO of Sharp Publishing. And you are?”
The blonde stepped forward, her handshake firm, warm.
“Madeline Ashton.”
A sharp spark, like a jolt of static, or something stronger… Shot up Helen’s arm the moment their hands met. Both women glanced down, then back at each other, eyes locking again.
____________When Helen Sharp, the no-nonsense CEO of her family’s publishing company, hires a new assistant, she expects efficiency, not a distraction. But Madeline Ashton’s bright smile and relentless optimism quickly start to unravel the careful walls Helen’s built around herself. Between long hours, quiet offices, and growing tension, lines begin to blur in ways neither woman can ignore.
