Not Safe For Work

Rival engineers dabble in personal chemistry while at a tropical company retreat in this smart and steamy romcom - perfect for fans of Ali Hazelwood, Nisha Sharma and Elena Armas.

Engineer Trishara Malik once dreamed of being the first woman of colour to smash the glass ceiling at WMC Purcell, but after years of dealing with white male privilege and blatant nepotism, she watches her hard-earned promotion go to her nemesis, Rafe Gallagher - the boss's son. Teetering on the edge of burnout, Tris is stunned when she's picked to attend WMC's corporate leadership retreat in Hawaii. It's a chance to revive her stalled career and compete for a coveted spot in an executive training program - plus, three weeks in paradise! The only downside? Rafe is her co-attendee.

Tris plans to avoid Rafe entirely, but when she arrives in Maui, a booking error has them stuck sharing the honeymoon suite - with only one bed . . . Sure, it's not all torture. Rafe is a smoldering ten - okay fine, an eleven - but after years of competition, they can barely stand being in the same time zone. As they vie against each other during aptitude tests and team-building exercises, Tris begins to realize Rafe might not be the villain after all. With her dreams at stake, can she learn to trust the man who might have been standing in her corner all along?
