Work with Me by Michelle McCraw
This is the first of a series of books set around a technology company, called Synergy. The series is called Synergy Office Romance.
As the novel opens, Alicia has arrived to her first job for her own consultancy company. She has a strong mentor, Jamila, who has been encouraging and suggested her for this job. As she arrives a typical Austin hailstorm is starting and she darts across the street from the parking to the office tower. Unfortunately a ball of hail hits her right at her front hairline. A man waiting under the overhang assists her with the wound and the two have definite chemistry, but her pulls back, declining her offer of a coffee date.
Once inside her meeting, she finds one of the cofounders of the company, Cooper Fallon, had hired her to get a technology project back on track, and Jay, the other cofounder and the man she met earlier, was the team lead on the project.
As the two work out how to work together and Alicia works to get the team back to the expected timeline, Jay and Alicia are forced to work closely together and get to know some of each other's personal lives. Alicia lives in a close family unit, and is responsible for her young nephew Noah. Jay has a blunder on his corporate record, and has been trying to make up for it ever since, supported by his assistant Marlee.
Both have past relationships they regret and are careful about starting anything new without feeling strongly positive about it. The technology language seems right and adds to the authenticity. A fun read.
