The Startup Of Us: Falling in Love Again Wasn't in the Business Plan (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798349326868)

The Startup of Us is a heart-pounding, emotional second chance romance set in the high-stakes world of tech startups, where ambition collides with heartbreak-and love may be the biggest risk of all.

Jenny Reyes is a rising star in the wellness tech industry. Smart, driven, and fiercely independent, she's poured every ounce of herself into building Serenity-a revolutionary AI platform designed to combat stress in real-time. After years of grinding through burnout and self-doubt, she's finally on the edge of breakthrough. Investors are circling. The pitch is scheduled. The dream is almost real.

There's just one problem.

Blake Carter is back.

The brilliant coder who helped her create the company.

The man who walked away when she needed him most.

The ex who still haunts her every "what if."

When a luxury retreat brings them back together for a high-profile investor presentation, Jenny is forced to confront everything she thought she left behind. The passion. The betrayal. The unfinished story that refuses to stay buried. With only days to prepare and Serenity's future on the line, she has no choice but to work with Blake again-side by side, heart to heart, past colliding with present.

But trust isn't easily rebuilt. Especially when it was shattered in silence. And as pressure mounts and emotions resurface, Jenny must decide what's more dangerous: letting Blake back in, or pushing him away for good.

Tension simmers. Sparks fly. And beneath the data sets and pitch decks, something real is stirring-something messy, vulnerable, and impossible to ignore.

If she lets herself believe again, Serenity might not be the only thing saved.
