STRICTLY BUSSINESS
An 18+ Billionaire Boss Romance
Zara Mitchell is twenty-three, fresh out of college, and determined to survive her first real job as the personal assistant to Ethan Cole — the ruthless, brilliant, and devastatingly handsome CEO of Cole Technologies.
Ethan doesn’t do distractions. He doesn’t do relationships. And he definitely doesn’t do romance with his employees.
For twelve years, he’s lived by one rule: Never mix business with pleasure.
But from the moment Zara stumbles into his boardroom — literally tripping over a chair and spilling coffee on his Vice President — she becomes the one complication he can’t ignore.
She’s smart, resilient, and stubbornly kind in a world that rewards cold efficiency.
He’s intense, emotionally guarded, and carrying the weight of an empire on his shoulders.
As late nights turn into stolen conversations, and professional boundaries begin to blur, the undeniable chemistry between them ignites into something neither of them can control.
But in Ethan Cole’s world, desire comes with a price.
Boardroom politics, jealous exes, billion-dollar secrets, and a ruthless acquisition threat all stand between them and the future they both want.
Will Zara be the one to break through Ethan’s walls?
Or will their forbidden romance destroy everything they’ve built?
