The Alpha's Temp Assistant

Four weeks. That's what Wren Halloway has to survive at Kestrel Aeronautics — answer phones, cash the check, and never mention that her boss's family blacklisted her mother from this industry twenty years ago. Then Deacon Kestrel finds the complaint himself and asks Wren to help him answer it properly. They do the right thing, publicly. They also sleep together exactly once, on a layover in Wichita, and agree not to talk about it. Six weeks later, Wren has news. She tells him plainly, in a coffee shop, and expects a check. Deacon Kestrel does not propose. He asks her what she needs and then does that — on time, every month, no romance attached. A billionaire boss secret baby romance about the smallest possible kindnesses, done consistently, until they become something else.
