ROMANCING THE WORKPLACE SERIES

Hot Off the Press

A rivals-to-lovers, second-chance romance with headlines, heartbreak, and a story they can't walk away from.

From the back cover:

Some stories deserve a second chance—even if it's with your biggest rival.

Grace Hampton plays by the rules. Paul Callaghan never even reads them.

Once, they were the dream team of Sheffield Uni's student paper—and a couple on the brink of forever. But when Grace landed the internship Paul wanted, he walked out of her life with a parting shot and a grudge the size of Fleet Street.

Now, after a brutal media merger, the pair are forced to co-write a column neither of them wants… while sharing an office, a byline, and a history neither can ignore.

As old sparks reignite and buried truths surface, Grace and Paul must decide what they're really fighting for: the front page or each other.

Hot Off the Press is a second-chance romance about deadlines, do-overs, and the stories we tell ourselves to survive heartbreak.


This is a low spice/closed door romance.
