Preferential Treatment
by Guerre, Heather
Preferential Treatment centers on the friction between a fiercely capable woman and the powerful, demanding man who holds the keys to her professional future. This is a story about the messy, volatile intersection of ambition and desire, where the lines between boss and subordinate blur into something far more complicated. Guerre excels at building a slow-burn tension that feels heavy and earned, avoiding easy shortcuts in favor of genuine psychological push-and-pull. The atmosphere is thick with unspoken intent and the kind of high-stakes drama that makes every interaction feel like a turning point. If you enjoy romances that prioritize the internal struggle of characters who are too smart for their own good, and you appreciate a power dynamic that feels both dangerous and deeply intimate, this book will keep you locked in until the final page.
