Overview

She came to humanize him. She didn't count on the orchids. Poppy Miller has built her career on one skill: finding the real thing inside the polished performance and pointing a camera at it. Her newest subject? Alexander Thorne. Tech billionaire. Ice-cold CEO. The man whose company processes twelve billion transactions a year - and who has not, by available evidence, successfully made a cup of coffee in his own kitchen. His board wants him humanized before the IPO window closes. She wants him honest on camera. He wants her to leave. He gives her a job instead. Working from his 58th-floor Hudson Yards penthouse, Poppy launches a viral content series and the internet discovers what she already suspects: beneath the gray suit and the algorithm-optimized life, Alexander Thorne is hiding something worth finding. She finds it on the 59th floor. A sealed room. Warm, humid, impossibly quiet. Forty-one orchids - tended in secret, by a man who has told himself for ten years that he does not need warmth. She finds the door. She chooses not to open it. That decision changes everything. But when a targeted data breach puts Poppy in danger - and Xan makes the one move he knows how to make, the one that costs him everything - she's left with a terminated contract, a viral series, and the growing certainty that the most controlled man she's ever met just completely lost control. The Cold Acquisition is a slow-burn grumpy sunshine billionaire romance featuring: - A heroine who is warm, stubborn, and entirely unimpressed by wealth - A hero who tends orchids in private and sends four-hundred-word emails instead of having conversations - Forced proximity in a penthouse that smells of nothing until she brings eucalyptus from a bodega - A viral TikTok series, a thermostat war, and one very significant espresso machine - A grand gesture involving a 99-year heritage preservation trust - not flowers - The slow burn that is absolutely, completely worth every page of the wait Perfect for fans of: Grumpy sunshine romance - Office romance - Slow burn - Forced proximity - Billionaire romance with emotional depth - Protective heroes - Fierce heroines Some things, once they bloom, don't need to be kept private anymore.
