Code & Curves

Code & Curves
by Joanne Starr

Vivian Hayes is the last of the old guard at a fading tech firm—brilliant, stubborn, and fiercely protective of the legacy systems she's spent decades mastering. She likes things done her way, and she doesn't have much patience for trends, shortcuts, or reckless ambition.

Then the company hires Rebecca Kane, a dazzling young prodigy with a sharp mind, bold ideas, and zero hesitation about challenging everything Vivian believes in. Their clashes are immediate, their working relationship strained, and their mutual irritation impossible to ignore.

When a high-stakes migration project forces them into long nights of collaboration, sharp arguments slowly give way to reluctant respect—and a tension neither of them is prepared to face. The closer they work, the harder it becomes to pretend the sparks between them are just professional rivalry.

Code & Curves is a steamy, enemies-to-lovers office romance about clashing generations, crossing boundaries, and discovering that sometimes the biggest risks aren't in the code—but in the heart.
