In a company obsessed with clean metrics, a principled HR director and her former boss learn that the real cost of transformation is measured in Tuesday afternoons-and in the slow-burn love neither of them planned on. In a global company chasing ambitious transformation targets, Director of People Transformation Olivia Trent has one job: make sure change does not quietly crush the people expected to deliver it. From the outside, she looks like the perfect corporate success story-sharp mind, impeccable work ethic, a promotion that finally puts her name on the door. Behind the glass walls and carefully chosen words, she is holding together a fragile balance between boardroom expectations and the real weight carried by managers like Marlene, who are one rota change away from breaking. Her closest ally used to be her boss. Daniel Hart, the man with the clean narrative and the restless mind, is now the charismatic transformation chief everyone wants on their keynote. Together, they turned a failing pilot at Berrington into a blueprint for something better-once they admitted that the neat plan on the slide deck was slowly burning through real lives. Together, they also stepped over a line neither of them meant to cross, in the quiet spaces between crisis calls and ethics reviews. When an anonymous hotline report questions their closeness before either of them has fully acknowledged it, Olivia and Daniel are forced into the kind of scrutiny they usually reserve for other people. Reporting lines shift. Roles change. Daniel leaves for a bigger stage in another city. The easy, everyday proximity that once defined them disappears. What remains is the pull neither of them can quite silence. As Olivia learns to use her new title to bring frontline voices into the centre of the company's story, she steps into a spotlight that makes her both respected and resented. A brutally honest town hall and a high-stakes transformation summit push her and Daniel onto the same public stages again, this time as equals. Their chemistry is as undeniable as ever-but so are the ethical questions they refuse to ignore. What does it mean to love someone whose decisions shape thousands of other people's days. Where is the line between supporting a partner and becoming their silent accomplice. Set in meeting rooms, call centres, hospital corridors and cramped kitchens as much as in sleek boardrooms, "The Corporate Pull" is a realistic, heart-deep office romance for readers who like their love stories tangled up with real work and real consequences. Expect slow-burn tension, sharp dialogue, complicated loyalties, found family in the form of friends and colleagues, and a heroine who will not sacrifice her integrity to get a happy ending. If you have ever sat in a meeting thinking, "this decision will look fine on the slide, but I know whose Tuesday afternoon it will break," this story is for you.
