And a scandal that’s about to change everything… As an operating partner at Jade Harbour, Raymond Chao prides himself in fixing even the most disastrous of portfolio companies—no matter the cost.

When long nights in the office lead to whispered confessions and a newfound intimacy, it seems like a dream come true—for both of them.

Strong Atypical MM Romance. As an MM romance, this one both works and does a good job of showing off atypical sexualities - specifically pansexual and demisexual. And both leads are well fleshed out, with strong and compelling backstories along with solid reasonings for why they haven't yet gotten together. On the business side... there are more issues with the story. For one, a late development should have happened sooner and for a very different reason, and likely would have in reality. For another, while it is refreshing in that the author had the courage to go there, one has to question just how real such a scenario truly is. But for those seeking to simply get lost in a MM romance and ignore pesky “reality” questions... this actually works quite well. Very much recommended.
