About the book

Niall Stella is a British executive who prioritizes logic and order, recently divorced and cautious about his emotional life. When he travels to New York for a month-long business assignment, he works alongside Ruby Miller, an American intern at his engineering firm who has harbored a crush on him for years. Their professional dynamic shifts during late-night work sessions and city outings. Ruby is outgoing and vocal about her attraction, forcing the reserved Niall to confront his rigid boundaries and decide if he can risk a long-distance relationship.

This story serves readers who enjoy the office romance trope and the contrast between a disciplined, quiet protagonist and a spontaneous partner. It appeals to those interested in the logistical and emotional friction of professional hierarchies and international boundaries. Readers finish the book with a perspective on how clear communication and vulnerability can bridge the gap between two different personality types and life stages.
