Despite the Risk

When Min Seolha blurts out a single reckless question—"Could you sleep with me?"—to her boss, she is certain her professional life has just imploded. As the secretary who has quietly harbored feelings for Cha Jeongmu for three long years, she never meant for those words to escape her lips, and she braces herself for the mortification and fallout that must surely follow. Instead, the man of her dreams agrees. Even more startling, the composed and powerful CEO attaches a condition of his own: their arrangement will carry no expiration date—there will be no limit to the number of nights they may share. What begins as an impulsive slip of the tongue blossoms into a passionate secret affair, with the two drawn into one another's arms once the office lights dim and the workday finally ends. But neither Seolha nor Jeongmu realizes that fate has been keeping a secret of its own. A tragic history binds them together in ways they have yet to discover—a buried past that could shatter their already precarious romance just as it begins to truly flourish.
