She’s built a firewall around her heart, and he’s determined to crack the code—she walks into the most important meeting of her life, the one that’s going to make or break her career, and he’s here: the sexy charmer she met in the hailstorm outside, the guy so temptingly tasty she forgot herself, forgot she didn’t do things like that, and asked him out. Michelle McCraw launches Synergy with enemies-to-lovers office romance where the worst part is he turned her down, and now he’s here in her meeting—he’s not charming anymore but cranked off because of her. 💻Well, guess what? It’s not the first time she’s made a tech bro cranky—just because she wears skirts doesn’t mean she’s going to let them think she’s any less of a programmer than they are, and no matter how smart he is, she’s going to show him who’s the boss: it’s her. McCraw explores what happens when attraction becomes professional rivalry, examining how being rejected by someone then having to work with them creates the perfect recipe for enemies-to-lovers tension. And there’s no way she’s going to fall for his player ways again—not when he sends her hilarious apology gifts, not when she teaches him to two-step, and certainly not when he kisses her under the stars. Oops. 💕
The author delivers office romance where firewalls around hearts are no match for sexy charmers with coding skills, proving that sometimes the guy who rejected you becomes irresistible once you’re proving you’re better at the job than he is. McCraw writes a heroine determined to establish programming credibility in a male-dominated field who definitely doesn’t have time for romance with the one man who’s already seen her vulnerable—except he keeps sending apology gifts and learning to dance and being annoyingly perfect under starlight. The first Synergy novel asks whether you can maintain professional boundaries with someone who’s determined to crack your code. 🌟
