Closed Door Romance novels before anyone else.
A clean, closed-door workplace romance with emotionally rich slow-burn tension, witty banter, and heart-deep healing.
She’s the human lie detector. He’s the man no one can read. In Manhattan’s high-stakes tech world, their enemies-to-lovers clash wasn’t supposed to lead to love—until she rewrote all his rules.
Clio Ambrosia’s uncanny gift for reading people has made her the secret weapon of New York’s power players. As a top behavioral consultant, she’s built her career decoding CEOs, billionaires, and executives who think they’re unreadable.
When Manhattan’s most guarded tech mogul hires her, Clio finds herself up against Dillon Whelan, a brilliant, brooding, grumpy tech CEO who’s as magnetic as he is infuriating. His armor is as thick as his ambition, making him her toughest challenge yet.
Dillon Whelan thrives under pressure and doesn’t have time for distractions, not with investors, board meetings, and a billion-dollar launch. Brilliant, disciplined, and fiercely guarded, he built his empire on precision and trust in his data, algorithms, and AI-driven innovations, not in people.
Clio’s sharp insights are supposed to help him sharpen his team before a major launch. Instead, her quiet confidence and uncanny ability to see straight through his defenses has him rethinking every rule he’s built his life on.
What begins as a razor-sharp war of words turns into a slow-burn romance that sweeps them from a glittering New York gallery and a tense escape room to a gorgeous ball and the historic streets of York, England, blurring the lines between the boardroom and something far more intimate.
When their undeniable chemistry and connection challenges everything they thought they knew about trust, ambition, and love, Clio and Dillon must decide if protecting their hearts is worth losing their one shot at something real.
