Micah Mila knows no one wants to see her in their workplace—as a financial auditor, people often lose their own jobs once she’s finished hers. But she never expected to encounter outright hostility the very first day of her latest assignment at a local university and finds it—and the difficult man who clearly has it out for her—absolutely infuriating. When she’s off the clock, the one solace she has during this overwhelming assignment is reading steamy stories by her favorite author of fan fiction. Professor Aidan Scott is living two very different lives. An English literature professor by day, none of his colleagues realize he writes erotic stories online in his spare time. If only he didn’t find the sexy auditor who is clearly there to gut his department so distracting, not to mention inspirational. When they learn the truth about their extracurricular lives, Micah and Aiden have to decide if they can find a future together despite their professional lives being at odds with each other.
VERDICT Smith’s (The Boy with the Bookstore) bard-inspired, workplace enemies-to-lovers romance will appeal to readers who enjoy Tessa Bailey and Abby Jimenez.
