Mia is a woman with nothing left to lose and everything to hide. Desperate and down to her last few pennies, she secures a job interview at a high-end architecture firm. Her only goal is to survive, keep her head down, and remain invisible—a survival tactic she has perfected to escape a haunting, dangerous past. The only obstacle standing in her way is her new boss, Max. Max is a viral sensation—a grumpy, rough-around-the-edges Yorkshireman who is as intimidating as he is successful. To the rest of the world, he is a reluctant heartthrob, but to Mia, his imposing stature and moody temper are nothing short of terrifying. She is determined to ignore his sharp tongue and avoid his scrutiny, convinced that running is the only way to stay safe. This slow-burn, grumpy-boss romance explores the fragile intersection of trauma and healing. As Max begins to look past Mia’s carefully constructed defenses, he discovers the resilient woman beneath the facade. Can Mia finally stop running and find the courage to trust the one person who truly sees her? *Unperfect* is a poignant, heart-wrenching, and ultimately uplifting story of finding safety and love in the most unexpected places.
