Tam Remington had her life planned out. Until a conversation in a broken lift—with her worst enemy—changes everything.
Milly’s writing is like getting a big hug with just the right amount of bite underneath.
— Jane Fallon
For a decade, Tam has quietly held YorkMart together whilst others took the credit, making herself smaller in the process.
When she’s briefly promoted to acting Managing Director, she finally has a chance to shine—until her promotion is snatched away and handed to Jack Cesaroni—the man brought in to do the job that should have been hers.
Tam expects nothing but disappointment from Jack. But when they’re trapped in a lift between floors thirteen and fourteen, he sees what no one else has: Tam is exceptional. That single word of recognition sparks something Tam thought she’d lost—and an unexpected connection she never saw coming.
Now Tam faces an impossible choice: stay being the smaller version of herself she’s become used to, or take a leap and reclaim the vibrant, authentic woman she once was—and discover how wonderful it could be if she lets someone see the real her…
For fans of Jenny Colgan and Jill Mansell, this enemies-to-lovers story shows sometimes you need to get stuck to find your true self.
