Executive Pressure

She was hired to gut the department. Instead, she's taking control of the department head. Twenty-five-year-old Sloane Archer is burning out. As the youngest department head in Bellhaven Media's history, she's holding her underfunded creative team together with caffeine, panic, and sheer stubbornness. The last thing she needs is a ruthlessly efficient corporate auditor showing up to put her department on the chopping block. Enter Vivienne Cross. At forty-eight, Vivienne is an ice-cold, hyper-competent senior consultant known for dismantling divisions without a second thought. She operates on flawless logic and total control. But when Vivienne finds Sloane working herself into a panic attack alone in the office at midnight, the lines between professional distance and deeply, dangerously personal intervention blur. Vivienne doesn't just calm Sloane down—she takes over. What begins as a desperate, secret surrender behind a locked office door quickly escalates into an intense, consuming dynamic that threatens to shatter Vivienne's legendary composure. As Vivienne uncovers a massive corporate sabotage plot targeting Sloane's team, she'll have to decide whether to file the report she was hired to write, or burn the company to the ground to protect what's hers. Executive Pressure is a high-heat, high-stakes sapphic age-gap romance featuring an ice queen auditor, a burnt-out creative director, intense workplace dynamics, and a guaranteed HEA. Intended for mature audiences (18+).
