New Year's Day is for resolutions, fresh starts, and finally doing the one thing that terrifies you most—telling your gorgeous coworker exactly how you feel. When Ella and Andrew find themselves alone in an empty office, three months of stolen glances and unspoken desire finally ignite into something neither of them can ignore. But after a cruel email sends Ella to tears in the break room, Andrew makes it his mission to protect her—and that's when everything changes. This is a story about bravery, boundaries, and the achingly slow burn of two people who've been fighting their chemistry for far too long.
