He was never supposed to notice her. And she was never supposed to want him.
James Fordham had learned that invisibility was a strategy for remote work, control, zero complications.
Then she’s called back into the office and placed directly under Asher Wilcox.
Her mentor. Her boss’s boss. The man with enough power to ruin her career and enough control to never touch her in public.
The rules are clear. The attraction isn’t.
Every late night. Every closed-door meeting. Every look no one else notices pulls them closer to a line neither of them can afford to cross.
But when secrets from Asher’s past surface, James is forced to decide what she’s willing to risk. Her job, her reputation, or the one man who was never supposed to become personal.
Work From Home is a forbidden, slow-burn office romance about power, restraint, and the kind of connection that doesn’t ask for permission.
Overall, the book was very good. This was my first exposure to this author, and I was really pleasantly surprised. I thought the characters were very well developed, and their chemistry was so obvious and enjoyable to read about. The things I didn’t like were the divorce terms. When a spouse is cheating and can be proven to be cheating they don’t get half the assets, especially when they didn’t contribute to the marriage. So it disappointed me that Asher was such a pushover in his marriage, considering he had the money and the proof that she cheated that was just a poor plot hole to me. Also, I didn’t like how much the FMC was a doormat when it came to her dad. I’ve had bad family members and when they were bad, I cut them out. That’s what you should do. Blood does not give someone permission to abuse you. The only other objection I have it’s a year later when he proposes. That really makes absolutely no sense. They basically blew up their lives to be together and it took him a year to propose? Maybe four or five months but a year really doesn’t make sense plus she’s already in her 30s. Do you really wanna push having babies that much later? But again a really good story and I will read this author again.
I won this book from a Goodreads giveaway! And I’m so happy I did this book was so good. From the chemistry between the characters the office drama and little bit of spice it was a great read!
