Roman Valentus. Billionaire CEO, pure perfection, and unfortunately, my new boss.
Brooding? Check. Intimidating? Oh, absolutely. Likely to fire me on the spot? Let’s just say the odds weren’t in my favor.
But instead of getting my walking papers, I end up working closely with him on the biggest marketing campaign of my career. We clash. We argue. But somehow, between the late nights and lingering stares, he falls. We fall—fucking hard.
But love isn’t just stolen glances and ear biting. Our pasts are waiting to ruin everything. And with a man like Roman? Falling might be easy… but surviving it? That’s another story.
Just when I start thinking this might be more than just workplace crush, the past comes knocking—his, mine, and the kind that doesn’t take no for an answer. Because love is fun and all, but apparently, so is self-destruction.
So, the real question is: can I survive loving a man like Roman Valentus… and can he survive loving me back?

Theo is eagerly awaiting a lacrosse scholarship at a college where he’s free from his predictably overwhelming parents.
But when the country is plunged into a sudden shut down due to a monstrous solar storm, their issues become very similar.
Despite how nauseating the idea is to both of them, Noah and Theo find themselves forced to cooperate in order to survive after stumbling into one another amidst an apocalyptic America… but the change in feelings was certainly not mandatory.
