Men Aren't Allowed Near My Beloved Assistant

As CEO of Meridian Holdings, Vivian Cross commands boardrooms and dismantles competitors but she cannot command the way her chest tightens every morning at 7:03 when her assistant walks through the door.
Elle Wyeth is efficient, composed, and utterly indispensable. She knows Vivian's coffee temperature without being told. She anticipates crises before they materialize. And she has spent four years burying a secret that could destroy them both.
When Elle resigns without explanation and vanishes to Vermont for a family funeral, Vivian tells herself the hollow ache in her chest is merely professional inconvenience. When things start to escalate, she realizes that cages made of silk and champagne are still cages.
Old money has rules. Breaking them has consequences.
Men Aren't Allowed Near My Beloved Assistant is a sapphic romance of hidden identities, forbidden desire, and the devastating cost of choosing yourself in a world that demands you belong to everyone else.
