Read My Mind, Mr. Sterling

The premise

Desperate to clear her father’s crippling debts, a young woman accepts a high-paying but terrifying role as the personal maid to a notoriously dangerous billionaire heir. Rumor holds that no one lasts in his mansion for long due to his erratic and lethal temper. To survive the initial weeks, she resorts to absurd comedic measures, including cooling food to near-freezing temperatures to avoid triggering his volatile outbursts. However, her secret strategy backfires when she discovers the billionaire possesses the uncanny ability to hear her internal monologue. What begins as a life-or-death employment situation quickly transforms into a bickering, comedy-filled dynamic where her constant anxious thoughts become his primary entertainment. This novel blends workplace survival horror tropes with a unique telepathic romance hook, focusing on the comedic friction between her chaotic inner voice and his stoic, observant exterior. Readers can expect a mix of high-stakes tension and lighthearted banter as they navigate their unusual connection.
