Everything You Need to Know About By a Thread
Ally Morales is pushing forty, working multiple jobs and any overtime she can get, because her father is in a nursing home that he can no longer pay for. She dumps a pizza on a rude, beautiful stranger in a New York pizzeria. That stranger turns out to be Dominic Russo, and within the week he is her boss at Label, the fashion magazine his mother Dalessandra runs and that Dominic has one year to fix. Dominic is famously unpleasant and carrying his own family mess, since his father ran the magazine into scandal and left him to clean it up. Ally temps as his assistant and is not remotely intimidated by him. A workplace grumpy sunshine romance with an office ensemble that gets real page time, plus Lucy Score's usual mix of banter, low stakes chaos and one serious thread running underneath.
Parental illness and nursing home care, financial hardship, workplace sexual harassment as a plot element, grief, family estrangement.
For readers who want an office romance with heart and a heroine whose problems are money and caretaking rather than manufactured drama. If you liked Things We Never Got Over, this is the same author in a city setting with a lighter plot. Contemporary, no magic, moderate spice. Skip it if you want a tight page count, because it is long and it wanders.
Standalone contemporary romance. It sits inside Lucy Score's loosely connected world and a few side characters turn up elsewhere, but no prior reading is needed.
