Sterile Hearts

She’s sunshine with trembling hands.
He’s a storm hidden behind spotless glass.
When a nervous orphan becomes secretary to a cold, germophobe CEO…
contamination isn’t the problem—feelings are.

When Elizabeth Darmos walks into Romano Global Enterprises, she only wants one thing: a stable job to survive the city. What she doesn’t expect is to end up working for Alexandro Romano—the youngest CEO in the company’s history, infamous for his sharp tongue, colder eyes, and ironclad germophobic rules. He fires secretaries like it’s a sport, trusts no one, and feels even less.

As she stumbles through her first days and he watches her with unreadable eyes, an unexpected tension fills the pristine walls of his office. He wants order. She brings chaos wrapped in quiet determination. He avoids emotions. She feels everything too deeply.

Neither of them planned for the slow, dangerous pull forming between a grumpy CEO and the sunshine girl determined to keep her job… even if it means cleaning her fear off the doorknob before she enters his world.
