The Story

About the Book

Stock Options and Second Chances is a short contemporary workplace romance about ambition, old feelings, and the price of success in the AI gold rush.

Sera Calloway arrives at Novera AI determined to win the internship that could change her life. A full-time offer at the most powerful AI company in the world means security, money, and the kind of stock options people dream about.

Then she sees Rowan Vale.

The boy she almost loved. The boy who left without explaining.

Now they are assigned to the same secret project, forced into long nights, impossible deadlines, and a pressure-filled competition where only the strongest interns will stand out. Sera tells herself Rowan is a distraction she cannot afford, but the more they work together, the harder it becomes to deny the connection they never truly lost.

As Project Halo becomes bigger than either of them expected, Sera and Rowan must decide whether they are only fighting for career success, or for a second chance at the future they were too afraid to choose the first time.

When their work finally pays off in a way neither of them imagined, success gives them money, freedom, and one final question: what do you do when you no longer have to prove yourself to anyone?
