Eight years ago, he fell in love with a stranger he couldn't
have--today, she's back in his life and the sparks between them threaten
to set her career on fire.
Pearl Harris has learned the hard way to be careful in work and in love.
When she is appointed acting director of OurCode, a nonprofit aimed at
inspiring high schoolers to code, she has a chance to make lasting
change for the organization, but a scandal has put their reputation at
risk. Further complicating matters, Pearl didn't expect the one man she
hasn't stopped thinking about in seven years to be the newest member of
her board of directors.
Cord Matthews fell for Pearl when they met in an elevator eight years
ago. She's just his type: smart, capable, and makes him laugh, but when
she broke his heart, he decided love wasn't for him. After five years
with no contact, their connection is immediate despite the many
roadblocks in their way, and Cord must consider breaking his ban on
serious relationships. But going public with a romance between them
might derail Pearl's career and the progress she's made at OurCode.
Pearl and Cord are both hesitant to trust their feelings and take a risk
as they grow closer, but it becomes impossible to keep ignoring the
electricity between them. Cord is a skilled programmer, but a workplace
romance might spell disaster for both of them, and love isn't easily
debugged.
