Subject To Attraction: A Workplace Romantic Comedy

Jessica Hart knows exactly how to dismantle a bad argument, expose a weak premise, and keep her personal life safely outside the courtroom. What she does not do is fall for polished men with dangerous charm, especially the kind who work for companies built on selling modern love like a luxury subscription.Jonah Cross is the golden boy of Ember, the app dating empire promising to optimize happily ever after. He is quick with a joke, lethal in a meeting, and far more complicated than the company's branding suggests. When Jessica publicly challenges Ember at a high-profile event, their clash goes viral, and suddenly the last thing either of them needs is more time in the same room.Which is exactly what they get.As scrutiny around Ember intensifies, Jessica and Jonah find themselves pulled into the same escalating mess of corporate spin, private secrets, and a connection neither of them can explain away. What begins as sharp, irresistible friction turns into something even riskier when circumstances push them into a fake dating arrangement that is supposed to solve a problem, not create a bigger one.Now Jessica is navigating the most inconvenient case of her life: an enemies-to-lovers disaster wrapped in a workplace romantic comedy, complete with public chemistry, private tension, and the sinking realization that the man on the other side of the scandal might be the one person telling her the truth.But the deeper they dig into Ember's glossy promises, the clearer it becomes that this is not just an office romance with witty banter and bad timing. Someone inside the company is hiding something big, and the closer Jessica and Jonah get to the truth, the harder it becomes to tell where the performance ends and the real feelings begin.Funny, sharp, and impossible to put down, this contemporary romantic comedy delivers all the things readers love: a high-concept corporate romcom setup, delicious tension, a fake dating twist, an app dating premise with bite, and a love story that has to fight its way through ambition, image, and the fine print of modern connection.Because some terms are negotiable.Love is not.
