Description
Maya Rao thrives on precision. As a lead UX designer at a cutthroat San Francisco startup, her world is dictated by clean wireframes, perfect metrics, and a total avoidance of chaos. For Maya, professional boundaries are non-negotiable—until Tessa Brooks crashes into her workspace.
Tessa, the company’s customer support lead, is the antithesis of Maya’s curated life. With her oversized hoodies, whirlwind energy, and relentless optimism, she is the human equivalent of a system error Maya never saw coming. While Maya builds walls, Tessa has a knack for dismantling them with nothing more than a witty Slack message and a disarming smile.
When a high-stakes product launch goes off the rails, the two are tethered to the office for grueling, adrenaline-fueled nights of debugging. As the professional tension mounts, the lines between project deadlines and personal desire begin to blur. What starts as sarcastic back-and-forth deepens into undeniable, explosive chemistry that threatens to overheat their shared workspace. Trapped in the pressure cooker of a startup week, Maya and Tessa must face the scariest question of all: is their connection just a temporary beta test, or are they ready to commit to a permanent release?
