🔹 Jessica Hawkins originally self-published this workplace romance novel in 2018 before it gained wider recognition among contemporary romance readers. 🔹 The book explores the enemies-to-lovers trope in a Manhattan advertising agency setting, drawing from the author's own experience working in media and advertising. 🔹 The male protagonist, Sebastian Quinn, is portrayed as a "reformed" bad boy whose reputation for office romances precedes him—a character type that became increasingly popular in contemporary romance following the success of "Fifty Shades of Grey." 🔹 The novel features dual points of view, alternating between Georgina Keller and Sebastian Quinn's perspectives, a narrative technique that has become a hallmark of modern romance fiction. 🔹 The book's cover underwent multiple designs before settling on the final version, which features a minimalist aesthetic that helped set it apart in the contemporary romance market.
