Not Safe for Work

Nisha J. Tuli

4.11

Two workplace enemies find themselves in close proximity on a tropical company retreat that challenges their assumptions—and just might make them to fall for each other—in this romcom by a beloved TikTok author.

"Tense, feisty, funny, and steamy!" —Abby Jimenez, #1 New York Times bestselling author

Engineer Trishara Malik once dreamed of being the first woman of color to smash the glass ceiling at WMC Purcell, but after years of dealing with white male privilege and blatant nepotism, she watches her hard-earned promotion go to her nemesis, Rafe Gallagher—the boss’s son. Teetering on the edge of burnout, Tris is stunned when she’s picked to attend WMC's corporate leadership retreat in Hawaii. It’s a chance to revive her stalled career and compete for a coveted spot in an executive training program—plus, three weeks in paradise! The only downside? Rafe is her co-attendee.

Tris plans to avoid Rafe entirely, but when she arrives in Maui, a booking error has them stuck sharing the honeymoon suite. Sure, it’s not all torture. Rafe is a smoldering ten—okay fine, an eleven—but after years of competition, they can barely stand being in the same time zone.

As they vie against each other during aptitude tests and team-building exercises, Tris begins to realize Rafe might not be the villain after all. With her dreams at stake, can she learn to trust the man who might have been standing in her corner all along?

    This was so cute! The banter was a lot of fun, it’s been so long since I’ve read a workplace romance and I forgot how much I liked them. This made me feel such immense amounts of rage towards everyone at WMC and honestly men in general (sorry not sorry, they deserve it). Rafe was a little ray of sunshine tho and I loved him and Tris so much. Trishara was a badass and that email!!! That is one of my favourite things I’ve read in a book it was so good and I was so I proud of her 🥹. I started her fantasy series a while back but wasn’t in the mood so I think it’s time I start reading it again.

    This was fun, it was funny, sweet, sexy, and made me want to jet off to Maui. I have now decided that Nisha is one of my favourite authors (this is literally my second book by Nisha) but I stand by my statement lol
