Unperfect

When Mia walks into her interview at one of London's most prestigious architecture firms, she has exactly one plan: stay invisible, stay safe, and never look back at the darkness chasing her heels.

She's not supposed to notice her new boss. She's definitely not supposed to feel anything when Max Gillespie fills a doorway with that infuriating Yorkshireman scowl and sharp tongue that could strip paint. But Mia has survived worse than a grumpy, impossibly attractive architect who seems determined to see straight through her carefully constructed walls. Running is what she does best—it's kept her alive.

Max doesn't do soft. He doesn't do patience, small talk, or the relentless media attention that follows him since an unguarded moment made him the internet's reluctant obsession. What he does do is notice things. And something about the quiet, bright-eyed woman who refuses to be rattled by his worst moods—who deflects his sharpness with unexpected warmth—is making it very difficult to look away.

But Mia's past isn't just painful. It's dangerous. The shadows she's running from have a way of finding the light, and letting Max close enough to matter could put them both in the path of something genuinely terrifying.

*Unperfect* is a slow-burn workplace romance wrapped in genuine tension and threat, where the real question isn't whether these two will fall—it's whether they'll both survive long enough to let themselves.
