Office Birds

Zoey Bennett is all about ambition, deadlines, and late-night coffee—until Liam Hart walks into her office... and her heart. Working her way up the corporate ladder at a fast-paced Manhattan tech firm, Zoey never planned on falling for a colleague—especially not someone as charming, intelligent, and frustratingly handsome as Liam. What begins as harmless banter quickly turns into lingering glances, after-hours meetings, and a growing attraction that threatens to blur the lines between professional and personal. But just when Zoey and Liam begin to navigate the delicate balance between career and romance, a ghost from Liam's past returns—Elise, his ex and now a high-level consultant hired to restructure the company. With office politics, ambition, and jealousy crashing around them, Zoey must decide: is the love worth the risk? And can a heart trained for spreadsheets and strategies truly make space for something as unpredictable as love? From boardroom tension to rooftop confessions, Between Deadlines and Heartbeats is a slow-burn office romance about trust, ambition, and finding love where you least expect it. Perfect for fans of Sally Thorne, Emily Henry, and office romance with emotional depth and steam.
