Mind Reader: A Clean Slow Burn Workplace Romance (Sensibility Romance Series Book 1)
She reads people for a living. He's the one man she can't decode.
Cleo Ambrosia's uncanny ability to read people has made her indispensable to New York's power players. Known as a "human lie detector," she can spot a hidden motive in a hesitation, a shift in posture, or the smallest change in expression.
Reading people has built her career. It has also made sure she's never caught off guard.
Then a cutting-edge tech company hires her to help refine Lucid Lenses, groundbreaking technology designed to detect the emotions people try to hide.
And Cleo meets Dillon Whelan.
Brilliant, controlled, and infuriatingly difficult to decipher, Dillon has built his success on logic, precision, and systems he can trust. Lucid Lenses is supposed to make human behavior more predictable.
But around Cleo, his supposedly brilliant technology begins to glitch.
As competitive boardroom exchanges give way to late nights, unexpected vulnerability, and an attraction neither can analyze away, Cleo discovers that the man she can't reliably read may be the first one capable of seeing straight through her.
And Dillon begins to realize that the woman challenging his technology is also challenging something far more personal: his belief that understanding every variable can keep him safe from being hurt.
When ambition, betrayal, and a fight for control of Dillon's company threaten everything they're building, Cleo and Dillon must decide whether love is another risk to anticipate or the one thing worth trusting without knowing how it ends.
Set between the ambition and energy of New York and the historic beauty of York, England, Mind Reader is a clean, closed-door contemporary romance filled with workplace chemistry, intellectual sparring, forced proximity, a fiercely competent heroine, a controlled hero who falls first, emotional vulnerability, and a deeply earned happily-ever-after.
