Tangled Up in You
Fun is the one thing Elsie Webb takes seriously. Though she'd be having a lot more of it if Haelstrom Media paid her enough to actually get out of debt. She's determined to hold out on contract negotiations for her kids' television show Fangley Heights until she gets what she deserves. There's only one problem, the head of the network just died and left her future more uncertain than ever.
Forty-eight hours and one funeral—that's all Jones Haelstrom has to get through before she can return to her life in LA that's as ordered and sparse as an IKEA showroom. When she steps in as CEO of her father's media company, Elsie Webb is her first problem to deal with. Elsie ends up challenging Jones in ways she never could have predicted, starting with an attraction neither can avoid.
As their attraction teeters on the edge of something more both agree to keep it casual. A no-strings agreement and disclosure to HR should be enough to keep things between Jones and Elsie from getting tangled, right?

"I thoroughly enjoyed this story. Elsie seems to be your sunshine/golden retriever, but with a twist: her Millennial outlook frees her from so much of the societal baggage us of the older generation forget we're carrying around. She says what she thinks, loves what she loves, and tries to make the world around her a little better.
And I have so much sympathy for Jones, closer to my own age, as she shoulders the weight of the world and forgets to be happy. There's not a ton of angst here, as each pothole in the road is filled with communication and trust between the women. Folks hoping for more angst would do well to listen to the author's other work with similar themes: "Must Love Silence".
Abby Craden, of course, absolutely slays.
