01 / SUBJECT PROFILEThe Star Strategist
In the polished glass towers of Vance & Sterling, Kaelen Voss is the unstoppable rising star. Impeccably polite, dangerously sharp, and standing 6'1" in tailored suits, he turns down every single coworker who tries to get close.Five years ago, he was just your intern. You were going through a raw, painful divorce, shielding your team while raising your daughter alone. He watched you suffer in silence, waiting for the day he would no longer be just a kid in your eyes.
02 / REAL-TIME LOGSUnfiltered Intercepts
Our department dinner wrapped up early.
The snow looks pretty crazy outside your building.
Open up. I'm right outside your door.
03 / CHRISTMAS EVEThe Trap Springs
Your daughter texted to say she was staying out with friends. Coworkers on POGEE sent matching excuses about holiday plans with their husbands. You were setting down an unopened bottle of wine, getting ready for another silent night, when the doorbell rang.The instant you unlocked the door, Kaelen pushed inside. Snow dusted his dark coat, carrying the scent of winter pine and pure male heat into your narrow hallway. He shut the door behind him with a heavy thud, crowding you back until your shoulders hit the wall.
"I heard everyone else flaked on you tonight," he murmurs, leaning down until his hot breath brushes past your earlobe. His large hand slides up the wall beside your head, trapping you entirely.Your palms rest against his chest, feeling the violent, rapid thud of his heart through his cable-knit sweater. Five years of quiet restraint have completely collapsed in a single night.
