Ruining Her Reputation
Vanessa Cole doesn't make mistakes.
At 45, she's the woman New York's most powerful people call when they need their worst secrets buried. Ice cold, untouchable, and always in complete control.
So why does her new junior executive make her want to ruin everything she's built?
At 28, Andrea Reyes knows she should be focused on the career she's worked years to earn. Not on her boss. Not on the way Vanessa's voice drops when they're working late. And certainly not on the way every accidental touch sends heat crawling beneath her skin.
Vanessa would never look at her that way. She's her boss, her mentor, the most disciplined woman she's ever met.
But discipline has a breaking point.
When a high-profile client pulls them into long nights and close quarters, every rule Vanessa lives by starts to crack. She knows that giving in means risking the empire she spent twenty years building. Andrea knows that wanting her boss means becoming exactly the kind of story Vanessa gets paid to bury.
The woman who makes New York's biggest secrets disappear has one of her own. She's falling for Andrea Reyes.

This book was really good with a lot of potential. I think the length of the book was actually a disadvantage - it was too short. The ice queen thawed way too quickly. Low angst - too low for an ice queen/ age gap trope. The slow burn only lasted a short amount of time. It was a nice change not having a third-act breakup. Overall 4.5.

B/c it was written from both our mains POV there was a lot of telling the reader the same thing. Often times the same sentence. I actually did really enjoy the read.
