Perfect for you if...

  • You enjoy workplace romance with real tension between characters who have actual reasons not to be together.
  • You like dual POV stories that let you see both sides of the attraction and the internal conflict.
  • You're looking for a contemporary romance with heat and emotional stakes, not just surface-level banter.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You need a slow burn. This book gets physical quickly after the initial attraction builds.
  • You prefer your romance without workplace power dynamics or secret relationships as central plot devices.
  • You want a fully resolved love story by the end. This is book one in a series, so threads remain open.

About this book

Meghan Taylor works for Cooper Jackson, her boss, but she finds herself unable to stop thinking about him—his blue eyes, his voice, and the spark she felt when they first touched. She wonders what a night with him would be like. Cooper has been unable to look at other women since Meghan started working for him a year ago. Though she is shy and reserved, unlike the women he typically dates, she captivates his interest. At the Christmas party, things escalate between them. Mistakes are made, and Cooper feels he wasn't strong enough to prevent them. They then establish ground rules to govern what happens next—the first rule being that no one can know about it. This is the first book in the Breaking the Rules series. Trigger warnings are available at www.kajamesauthor.com or in the front of the book.
