Warm for Him It

Wren Holloway doesn’t embarrass easily.

She does, however, occasionally say things she shouldn’t to strangers in bars—especially after a brutal interview day and one drink too many. What she did not account for: the man she was loudly discussing turning out to be her new boss.

Julian Cross is six-two, thirty-eight, and runs a tech empire from a glass office on the forty-second floor. He’s composed in a way that feels slightly inhuman, cold to everyone in the building, and apparently amused by her. He told her on day one that the position had unique requirements. That his previous assistant hadn’t been able to handle them.

By Wednesday, Wren understands exactly what that means.

She should leave. That would be the sensible choice. Instead she finds herself staying perfectly still in Julian’s office while he runs his empire and keeps her exactly where he wants her—closer than any professional arrangement should allow.

He calls her his good girl. He learns everything about her. He tells her she’s extraordinary like it’s a fact he’s been tracking since the moment she walked in.

He has absolutely no intention of letting her go.

Authors’ Note: This is not a realistic premise or a realistic series. Just… roll with it. Don’t question things. Otherwise we’d have to spend 100 pages getting to the good stuff.
