She's Known for Being Ruthless in Negotiations — Then She Gave Me Everything I Asked For | GL

Simone Archer read my proposal for eleven silent minutes, uncapped her pen, and signed every clause exactly as I'd written it. No counters. No conditions. Then she added one line in the margin, turned the page toward me, and waited. I'd asked for terms. She'd answered with her whole life. This GL romance audiobook follows Marnie Hale, account manager for a family coffee roastery, and Simone Archer—known across the industry as the Frost Line, a procurement negotiator who had never once, in six recorded years, given away a concession she didn't have to. Quarterly meetings turned into something neither of us named. A pot of oolong tea that appeared on the credenza after one offhand comment. Fridays booked last on the calendar so the meetings could run long. A hotel paid for during a snowstorm, "because vendors negotiate badly when they sleep in terminals." Small clauses initialed against all commercial logic, like coins left on a windowsill. When a devastating frost threatened to destroy Marnie's family business, Simone did something no one expected—she gave everything, then recused herself from the account entirely, filing the hardest kind of honesty: the kind that costs you the excuse to stay close. What follows is a love story disguised as a business relationship, about a woman who ruined people across conference tables for a living, and the one person she'd never once wanted to defeat.
