Leila has spent three years building something rare at Nova Creative — campaigns that don't just sell products, they make people feel something. She's one client win away from the Creative Director title she's earned, and she knows it.
Then Damon Carr walks in.
Brought in by the board as Director of Integrated Strategy, Damon is everything Leila finds impossible to work with: methodical, controlled, and devastatingly good at dismantling every argument she makes — without ever raising his voice. He doesn't do instinct. He does data. And he's been given shared oversight of her department.
When a major cosmetics client threatens to pull their contract, Leila and Damon are forced to co-lead the most important pitch of Nova's decade. Thirty days. One account. Two people who agree on nothing — except, slowly, everything that matters.
But the line between rivalry and something far more dangerous is thinner than either of them expected. And when Leila discovers a document that seems to confirm her worst suspicions about Damon's intentions, she has to decide: trust the data, or trust her instincts.
She's always known how to make people feel something they didn't see coming.
She just didn't expect it to happen to her.
The Midnight Accord is a sharp, slow-burn contemporary romance about what happens when the person who challenges everything you've built turns out to be exactly what you were missing.
