What it is

Control is her business. Surrender is her secret.

Elena Vance is the most ruthless crisis manager in Manhattan. She fixes broken reputations, salvages sinking companies, and runs her life with the precision of a Swiss watch. But after her fourth nanny in eight months quits via text message, Elena is facing a crisis she can’t spin: her own family.

Enter Chloe Summers. Twenty-four, chaotic, and wearing a cardigan that costs less than Elena’s coffee order. She’s a grad student with a thesis to write and zero interest in corporate posturing. She’s also the only person who can get Elena’s traumatized son to speak and her daughter to smile.

She’s perfect. She’s essential. She’s strictly off-limits.

But as Chloe brings warmth into Elena’s sterile penthouse, the lines between employer and employee begin to blur. Because Chloe sees what no one else does: the exhaustion behind Elena’s armor. And she isn’t afraid to tell the boss to sit down, shut up, and let someone else take control for once.

For a woman who has spent her life leading, the most terrifying thing isn’t falling apart.

It’s finding someone who knows exactly how to put you back together.

The Executive Protocol is a steamy contemporary F/F romance featuring an icy CEO, a sunshine nanny, a significant age gap, and a high-heat power exchange dynamic.
