**What if the person who saves you... is the one you can't save?** Mark Sullivan is drowning. Not literally-though some days, sitting in his open-plan office under fluorescent lights, it feels close enough. He's a good employee. A helpful colleague. The guy who shows up, does the work, and never complains. He's also completely numb. Then the pandemic hits, and everyone scatters to home offices. Mark settles into his isolation, resigned to video calls and microwaved dinners. Until his phone rings at 10 PM on a random Tuesday. It's Alice. The intriguing new colleague he's barely spoken to. She's stuck on a work problem. Can he help? That one call changes everything. **Their late-night conversations become daily rituals.** Her laugh becomes his favorite sound. Her texts, his reason to smile. When they finally meet in person at the eerily empty office, the chemistry is undeniable-and terrifying. Alice is brilliant, mysterious, and utterly captivating. She has a white rabbit tattoo and refuses to talk about her past. She elongates his name when she's teasing him. She makes him feel alive for the first time in years. **Their secret relationship becomes an addiction neither can quit.** Stolen moments in conference rooms. Whispered confessions during lunch breaks. Weekend escapes where they pretend the real world doesn't exist. Mark falls-completely, irrevocably, dangerously. But Alice is hiding something.
