Come Midnight

Forget the glass slipper. This Cinderella stole the Prince’s jacket... and she’s not giving it back.

"Olivia is a critical system failure in four-inch heels. I know better than to touch high-voltage machinery without protective gear. But when she looks at me with that raw, unfiltered want? Logic goes offline. I don’t just want to fix her problem. I want to be the glitch she never recovers from.”
— Casey Hobbs, Infrastructure Engineer & Reluctant Prince Charming

“My life is a series of executed protocols and mitigated risks. I don't do messy. I don't do impulsive. Then there’s Casey. She’s a variable I can’t control. I should manage the crisis. Instead, I’m managing a sudden, desperate urge to climb into her lap and let her handle everything."
— Olivia Cooper, Chief Technology Officer & Accidental Cinderella

Casey thinks she knows how to stay safe - keep your head down, fix what's broken, don't ask for more. Olivia thinks she knows how to stay in control - smile through the chaos, never let them see you crack.
When an emergency forces them back into the empty office on the Sunday before Christmas, professional boundaries are about to be disrupted. Suddenly, fixing the servers is the least interesting thing happening in the basement.

Come Midnight is a sizzling sapphic workplace romance featuring competence as an aphrodisiac, a very distinct lack of glass slippers, and two cats who judge everyone.
Guaranteed HEA. Contains mature themes.
