Overview

Two rivals. One promotion. And a rulebook begging to be burned.

Eleanor Sterling is a machine. As the Senior Account Manager at London’s top PR firm, she lives by data, discipline, and a color-coded schedule. She doesn’t make mistakes. She doesn't take risks. And she certainly doesn't mix business with pleasure.

Gemma Thorne is a riot. The agency’s chaotic Creative Lead wears leather jackets to board meetings, treats deadlines as suggestions, and believes intuition beats analytics every time. She is everything Eleanor hates.

They are natural enemies. They are also the only two candidates for the coveted Director role.

When management forces them to co-lead a high-stakes campaign for a scandalous pop star, the rivalry turns into all-out war. Trapped in a closet-sized office, the friction between Eleanor’s ice and Gemma’s fire reaches a breaking point.

A power outage. A trapped elevator. A moment of weakness.

Suddenly, the woman Eleanor is supposed to destroy is the only one she can’t keep her hands off. But in a glass-walled office, there are no blind spots. Someone is watching. Someone has the photos. And when a corporate leak frames them for treason, Eleanor faces an impossible calculation.

She can save the career she’s spent a lifetime building, or she can save the woman who finally made her feel alive. She can’t have both.

Chasing Red meets The Hating Game in this sizzling Sapphic workplace romance featuring competence kink, forced proximity, and a guaranteed HEA.

One click to start the scandal.
