Stepping into Nexus Communications felt like a dream-until it became a high-stakes game where ambition could either catapult me to the top or leave me in the dust. As a rising PR consultant in a firm that thrives on pressure, I expected to battle for recognition. I didn't expect Ashton Parker-Nexus's golden boy with a smirk that could melt steel and a competitive streak that drives me insane. From the moment we clashed in the boardroom, sparks flew, and not the good kind. Or so I thought. But when his reckless, daring ideas start pulling me toward the edge, I have to decide: stick to my safe, calculated path or dive headfirst into the unknown. With every meeting, every late-night brainstorming session, I'm caught in a dangerous dance between rivalry and something far more seductive. Ashton is a puzzle I'm desperate to solve, but every step closer to him threatens to unravel everything I've built. Is it worth the risk to break all the rules for a chance at something extraordinary? Or will I end up losing it all-including my heart?
