The Desk Between Us (A Close-Proximity Sapphic Workplace Romance) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Claire Donovan likes order, deadlines, and workspaces with doors that close properly.

Maya Ellis likes color-coded chaos, snack diplomacy, and turning messy human problems into language people can actually understand.

They are not friends.

They are barely compatible coworkers.

And now they have to share one tiny office for six weeks.

When Brightline Advisory launches a major internal project after a storm-disrupted work trip exposes serious cracks in the company’s systems, Claire and Maya are assigned as reluctant co-leads. Claire builds timelines, workflows, and implementation plans. Maya reads the room, names what everyone is avoiding, and somehow makes even the hardest problems sound human.

Their work styles clash immediately.

So do their desks.

Office 3B is too small, too hot, too awkward, and located dangerously close to Deborah, the printer that only responds to fear. The door barely latches. The shelf space becomes a negotiation. Maya’s snacks invade neutral territory. Claire’s labels multiply. And the more time they spend together, the harder it becomes to pretend their irritation is only irritation.

Claire is used to being respected from a distance. Impressive. Dependable. Untouchable. Safe.

Maya is used to being enjoyed but not chosen. Charming. Brilliant. Temporary. Easy to like, easier to leave.

But inside Office 3B, between late-night deadlines, whiteboard arguments, shared coffee, professional defenses, almost-kisses, and one desk neither of them can stop reaching across, Claire and Maya begin to see each other clearly.

Not the polished version.

Not the easy version.

The real one.

And when the office that brought them together is taken away, they will have to decide whether what they found belongs only to the room… or whether they are brave enough to choose it outside the door.
