Not Just for Now: A Vanguard Office Romance (Vanguard Office Romances Book 3)

She doesn’t date contractors.
She definitely doesn’t sleep with them.
And she never mixes business with pleasure.

Kate Whitmore runs Vanguard’s Strategy department with precision, control, and zero tolerance for disruption.

Until a renovation brings Isaac Holt onto her floor.

He’s supposed to be temporary.
A deadline.
A problem to manage.

Not the man pressing her against her own desk after hours.

Isaac is steady where she’s sharp. Unshakable where she’s controlled. And when the tension between them finally snaps, Kate sets one rule:

This is physical. Temporary. Until the reno’s done.

Isaac agrees.

He just doesn’t play it that way.

What starts as late nights and closed doors turns into something harder to contain—routine, comfort, and a man who looks at her like she’s not a system to optimize… but a life to build.

Kate knows how to stay in control.

But Isaac isn’t asking for control.

He’s asking her to stay.

And when the walls come down—professionally and personally—she’ll have to decide:

Was it ever temporary…
or just the safest lie she told herself?
