Her Plus One Problem

She bills twenty-four hundred hours a year, commands the courtroom, and has a legal strategy for every crisis. Except finding a date to the firm gala.

Naomi Blake is a hyper-controlled corporate M&A lawyer on the fast track to making partner. She has a ruthless eye for detail and zero tolerance for chaos. But when a senior partner warns her that her solitary life is hurting her professional "optics," Naomi realizes she needs a prop. She doesn't have time for dating, so she brings a corporate approach to a personal problem: she hires a professional.

Enter Sloane Vega. Beautiful, emotionally intuitive, and a master of social chameleonics, Sloane is a high-end social companion paid to look radiant and make her clients look anchored. She understands boundaries, operates strictly on an upfront rate, and always maintains absolute discretion.

To keep things perfectly clean, Naomi draws up an ironclad bilateral non-disclosure agreement over coffee. It’s a flawless business arrangement. Sloane will play the role of the devoted girlfriend for three events, and Naomi will lock down her partnership.

But love doesn’t respect business hours.

As public performances of intimacy bleed into raw, midnight vulnerability behind closed hotel doors, the invisible membrane between the service and the real world completely collapses. Naomi’s instinct is to buy out Sloane’s entire calendar with a premium retainer to control the risk. But Sloane refuses to be an itemized asset on a spreadsheet.

When the contract is torn up and the safety nets are gone, Naomi is forced to face the most terrifying closing argument of her life: learning how to ask for love like a person, not a lawyer.

Compulsively readable and packed with intense emotional friction, "Her Plus One Problem" is a high-steam, contemporary sapphic romance featuring an unforgettable Ice Queen, crisp corporate banter, and a love that can't be bought.
