Wrong Order (Paperback or Softback)

A spicy, trope-packed romcom for BookTok fans of Ali Hazelwood and Ana Huang, filled with sizzling sparks, billionaire tension, and a forbidden workplace FWB arrangement that refuses to stay casual.

Sophie Huang has spent five years climbing the corporate ladder as the assistant to the CEO of a prestigious PR firm. Driven by ambition and a relentless pursuit of success, Sophie dreams of one day becoming Account Director. But her meticulously planned career path takes an unexpected turn when a chance encounter at a coffee shop catapults her into a PR disaster of her own making.

James Tian walked away from his influential father's empire to carve out his own path, and his risk paid off—he's now one of the world’s youngest billionaires. Riding high on his company’s success, James is blindsided when a multi-million dollar deal turns sour, and a trusted client betrays him. As his troubles mount, James turns to external PR management for damage control. Little does he know, the woman hired to fix his public image will be the very same woman who could unravel his carefully constructed life.

Sparks fly and tensions rise as Sophie and James find themselves in a high-stakes game of power and desire. With neither willing to back down, they agree to a Friends-With-Benefits arrangement to keep things simple. But as passion deepens and emotions get involved, they’re both left wondering—can they keep their hearts out of the equation? And what will happen when their secret relationship becomes front-page news?
