I keep his campaign on schedule.
He makes me want to surrender.
I'm Lauren Weathers, executive assistant to Gideon Strong, a candidate for governor. I can rearrange a town hall and keep a campaign day from unraveling. What I can't do is stop wanting the man behind the closed office door.
Then Gideon offers me ten minutes when I don't have to make every decision.
We negotiate the rules. My limits matter. I can stop whenever I choose. For someone who lives by color-coded calendars and worst-case scenarios, letting go feels both impossible and dangerously tempting.
But the line between my job and my desire won't stay where we draw it.
When a photograph turns us into a headline, his political future is on the line—and my competence becomes gossip. The man I trust in private is still the boss with power over my career. Wanting each other doesn't make that problem disappear.
I want Gideon. I also want a future I can call my own.
To have both, I'll have to decide which rules protect me—and which ones we need the courage to change.
My Rules of Surrender is a slow-burn political workplace romance about chosen surrender and hard-won trust, with sensual, non-graphic intimacy and a happy ending.
