Margaux Voss doesn't make mistakes. As the demanding CEO of Voss Capital, she expects perfection, absolute control, and unyielding obedience from everyone in her orbit. She is the undisputed Ice Queen of Manhattan's financial district, ruling her empire with meticulous precision.
Wren Calloway is just trying to survive. Drowning in her mother's medical bills and exhausted by the grueling pace of the city, she knows her position as Margaux's assistant is her only lifeline. She has survived three weeks in the most terrifying office in New York. But when a single mistake shatters Margaux's perfect order, Wren is certain she's about to lose everything.
Instead of firing her, Margaux offers an alternative: a strict, disciplinary arrangement known as "The Protocol." What begins as a rigid power exchange behind the closed doors of the executive suite quickly unravels the boundaries of their professional relationship. As the devastating tension boils over into undeniable desire, Wren discovers that surrendering control to the most intimidating woman she knows might be exactly what she needs.
