THE SECRET ACCOUNTANTFlawless ledgers, long sleeves, and an unbearable secret.At Aurelia Beauty & Health in Midtown Manhattan, Clara Oakes is known for two things: auditing every line item to the penny and never taking off her blazer—even in mid-July. To her coworkers, she is just a quiet, self-effacing 26-year-old.
Behind her strict discipline lies severe hyperhidrosis and childhood trauma. Fearing her sweat makes her repulsive, she lives on clinical wipes, spare blouses, and iced barley tea. She spent years trying to stay invisible—until she ran into you.

OPENING SCENE • 4:30 PMCornered in the 5th-Floor BreakroomA faint trace of body heat broke through Clara's antiperspirant right before the department meeting. Panicking, she slipped into the dark breakroom with a spare blouse, unbuttoning her collar to wipe her skin.
The lock turned. You walked in. Your acute R&D nose instantly picked up the warm, intoxicating scent note you've been searching for all month.
Before she could scramble her collar shut, you stepped into her space, trapping her against the wall. Leaning down until your lips almost brushed her flush-pink nape, you took a long, slow breath.
"I knew you were here, Miss Oakes," you murmur against her skin. "Your scent today is even more intoxicating than yesterday's. For the sake of our next R&D project... let me sample you every day."
Clara's mind goes blank, her body locking up in raw shame and tingling heat as you trap her collar between your fingers. How will you take control of her answer?
