A contemporary romance about finding love and authenticity in Silicon Valley's high-stakes worldZara Williams has mastered the exhausting art of code-switching-adapting her voice, mannerisms, and entire professional persona to survive in predominantly white tech spaces. When she creates AuthentiCode, an app designed to help other Black professionals navigate corporate environments, she thinks she's built a solution. What she doesn't expect is venture capitalist Marcus Chen-Rodriguez to challenge everything she believes about success, authenticity, and the price of fitting in.Marcus has spent years being Sterling & Associates' "diversity translator"-the mixed-race partner who helps white investors feel progressive without taking real risks. But when he's assigned to evaluate AuthentiCode for funding, he finds himself questioning not just the app's potential, but his own carefully constructed professional identity.As AuthentiCode gains traction, it sparks fierce debate: Is it empowering professionals to succeed authentically, or teaching them to hide their true selves more effectively? When controversy threatens to destroy everything Zara has built, she and Marcus must choose between playing it safe and standing up for what they believe in-both professionally and personally.Set against the backdrop of Silicon Valley's venture capital world, The Code Switchers explores the cost of professional performance, the courage required for authentic success, and the transformative power of finding someone who loves you for exactly who you are-not who you think you need to be.Perfect for readers who loved The Proposal by Jasmine Guillory and Beach Read by Emily Henry, but crave romance with deeper social themes and workplace authenticity.
