Out of Office

By Phoebe MacLeod

Athena's rule is simple: men are unreliable, untrustworthy, and best admired from a safe distance.

And with her career to focus on, it's a rule she's perfectly happy sticking to - much to her mother's dismay.

Until work sends her to Cape Town, and she meets Nathan: charming, thoughtful, and dangerously attentive. Suddenly, Athena's long-held decree feels... negotiable.

But Nathan's past may not be as spotless as it seems, and Athena starts to wonder if her instincts were right all along. The problem is, by the time the warning signs appear, she's already falling for him.

Should Athena risk her carefully curated world for love - or will her heart pay the price?
