Billionaire CEO Roman Ellis’s new hire, child nutrition specialist Calli Stavros, must overhaul NutriFlow’s kids’ program while navigating workplace scrutiny and strict HR expectations. Living in corporate housing tied to Roman’s penthouse, she faces constant interruptions from her five-year-old niece, whose boundless trust collides with Calli’s need for professionalism. As Roman rekindles a long-held chemistry through intimate, low-voiced moments, Calli tries to keep control—only for chaos, guilt, and attraction to intensify from the first day.

This is totally fine. Except I’m only one HR violation away from spontaneous combustion. I was hired to fix the kids’ nutrition program at NutriFlow. What I wasn’t prepared for?

Cabs honk in impatient chorus, a food truck bell jingles half a block down, and a man in an expensive coat mutters “move it” as he sidesteps meand my five-year-old niece. Typical midtown soundtrack. Equal parts urgency and espresso. I tighten my grip on Zoe’s mittened hand and my travel mug, praying the coffee doesn’t baptize my coat again.“Keep walking, bug,” I murmur.“We’re on a mission.” She stops dead to stare at the skyscraper above us.“It’s so shiny.” Of course it is.
