She reads minds for a living. He’s the one man she can’t decode.

Clio Ambrosia’s uncanny gift for reading people has made her the secret weapon of New York’s power players. Known as the human lie detector, she’s built her career decoding powerful CEOs and coaching top performers. A former figure skating prodigy turned executive coach, she’s sharp, strategic, and impossible to rattle. But when a cutting-edge tech firm hires her to refine their emotional intelligence strategy, she meets Dillon Whelan, the one client her instincts can’t predict.

Dillon Whelan built his success on logic, precision, and control. But Clio’s insight threatens to upend everything he believes about leadership, and love. Their boardroom sparring crackles with wit and tension, each conversation a duel neither wants to lose.

As professional lines blur and trust deepens, both must decide if love is worth risking the armor they’ve spent years perfecting. What begins as a razor-sharp war of words turns into a slow-burn romance that sweeps them from a glittering New York gallery and a tense escape room to a moonlit gala and the historic streets of York, England; blurring the lines between ambition and heart.
