The Chief’s Code: An Enemies-to-Lovers Workplace Romance Novella (Banter Buddies)

By Morgan Chase

My life follows a strict product roadmap. His only rule is breaking mine. When the new CTO challenges everything I've built, our professional rivalry ignites into something far more personal. I'm Sophie Cheever, and I have my life and career perfectly mapped out. As senior product manager at Spocket, a financial tech startup, I'm on track for my next promotion. Everything is going according to plan--until Lucas Faber, newly appointed Chief Technology Officer, storms into my boardroom with irritating confidence, distracting good looks, and opinions that threaten my strategy and sanity combined. Lucas isn't just brilliant and infuriating--he's now potentially my boss. Our explosive chemistry is completely off the roadmap, and giving in could derail everything I've worked for. But behind closed office doors and during late-night work sessions, the line between professional rivalry and forbidden attraction starts to blur. As we collaborate on a high-stakes project that could make or break both our careers, I must decide if I'm willing to rewrite my perfect plans for a chance at something neither of us expected to find in the workplace: a connection that defies all logic but feels undeniably right. A sizzling, fast-paced novella perfect for fans of office romance packed with humor and banter, who love their stories smart, steamy, and impossible to put down.
