RUIN ME QUIETLY

Nora Vance never backs down from Weston Cole — not in the boardroom, not when it costs her the argument, not even when it means standing toe-to-toe with the most powerful man in the company. It’s the one rule she’s never broken. Weston built Cole Whitmore into an empire by never losing control. Then Nora walked into a meeting and told him he was wrong — and he’s been unable to stop watching her ever since. What starts as unplanned, unspoken tension in empty conference rooms and late-night offices becomes impossible to deny. But Weston is her boss, the company’s watching, and an old flame is offering Nora the safe, easy future she once thought she wanted. When a rival threatens to expose them both, Nora has to decide: protect the careful, untouchable reputation she spent years building — or risk everything for the one man who’s never once wanted her to be smaller. Ruin Me Quietly is a steamy, emotionally charged workplace romance about denial, desire, and choosing the harder, truer thing anyway.
