(2026)
(The second book in the Second Bloom series)
A novel by

 
 
She needed funding.
He enforced the rules.
Neither planned on wanting the other this badly.


Mara Ellis is rebuilding her life one impossible project at a time. Graham Kincaid is the calm, infuriating compliance officer assigned to keep her in line. Their chemistry is immediate. Their timing is terrible.

Workplace rules. Public scrutiny. A desire that refuses to behave.

What starts as sharp banter and professional restraint turns into late nights, crossed lines, and three moments where ‘don’t’ stops working.

This is a spicy romantic comedy featuring:

  • slow-burn tension that snaps



    sharp, modern banter



    open-door scenes that earn every page



    a heroine who chooses herself first



    a hero who learns control isn’t the same as safety



    Funny, emotional, and unapologetically hot, this is a story about breaking rules, risking reputations, and choosing each other when it’s anything but convenient.

    Perfect for readers who like their rom-coms smart, steamy, and just a little dangerous.
