New Year, New Mess
New Year’s Eve was supposed to be simple.
Claire didn’t plan on meeting him.
Claire Beaumont is determined that this year will be different.
New job. Fresh start. Fewer emotional messes.
Then a New Year’s Eve party throws her into the orbit of Grant Pike— quiet, precise, and nothing like the men she usually falls for. He doesn’t flirt loudly. He doesn’t chase attention.
He just sees her.
And somehow, that feels more dangerous than fireworks at midnight.
By January, they’re coworkers at the same agency, navigating a high-stakes sustainability campaign, strict office boundaries, and a pull neither of them is ready to name.
Grant thrives on structure. Claire lives in the beautiful chaos between trying and hoping. When feelings deepen faster than rules can keep up, Grant pulls back — not because he doesn’t care, but because caring feels like something that might cost him everything.
As deadlines loom, lives shift, and past fears resurface, Claire must decide whether slowing down means settling… or choosing something real.
New Year, New Mess is a warm, slow-burn workplace rom-com
💫 Meeting at a New Year’s Eve party
🧠 A quietly anxious, deeply loyal hero
🎨 A creative heroine finding her voice
🏢 Workplace tension & forbidden closeness
🤍 Choosing love without losing yourself
Perfect for readers who love soft heroes, emotional intimacy, gentle humor, and cozy realism, this story proves that sometimes the messiest beginnings lead to the most meaningful love.
New year. New job. New rules.
Same heart — finally seen.
