Priya Anand built her career on never mixing work with anything else — especially not with Marcus Voss, the rival architect who beat her out of the promotion she’d earned twice. Now they’re forced to co-lead the biggest project of their careers, sharing one office, one deadline, and a growing list of reasons “strictly professional” is a much harder rule to keep than either of them expected.

“Strictly Professional” is a five-chapter workplace romance about rivalry, ambition, and the moment competing with someone becomes something else entirely.
