Description

“A childhood crush gets a second chance in this heartwarming gay romance.” —Publishers Weekly on Hard Sell

A boss and his employee must work together on more than just office politics in this thoughtful, sexy romance from Hudson Lin.

As an operating partner at Jade Harbour, Raymond Chao prides himself in fixing even the most disastrous of portfolio companies—no matter the cost. While his colleagues might not always like his methods, they love his results. But his latest business partner isn’t cooperating, and what’s worse, Raymond's underhanded tactics have landed him in hot water with the law.

Elvin Goh has been Raymond's assistant for years, and he's been in love with the charming, ruthless playboy for just as long. There's very little that Elvin won't do—or hasn't done—for Raymond. Impossible crush aside, it's his job. But this time, even Elvin can't see a way out.

When long nights in the office lead to whispered confessions and a newfound intimacy, it seems like a dream come true—for both of them. But with the prospect of failure on the horizon, can this dream team beat the odds and come out the victors in the office and in their hearts?

Carina Adores is home to romantic love stories where LGBTQ+ characters find their happily-ever-afters.

Editorial Reviews

“Lin’s plotty second Jade Harbor Capital romance (after Hard Sell) skillfully mixes business with pleasure.[...] he characters are well developed, with Elvin’s close-knit family contrasting Ray’s estrangement from his own, and the story takes some fascinating twists. Readers will find it easy to care about these endearing lovers.” --Publishers Weekly

“Lin’s latest entry in her heartwarming and steamy Jade Harbour Capital series (following Hard Sell, 2021) charts a slow-burning office romance between two opposites.” —Booklist

“A workplace romance starts slow then burns hot in Going Public...Watching sweet, innocent Elvin and jaded playboy Ray navigate new waters will melt readers’ hearts." —Bookpage
