FALLA FRITT – WORKING LATE
By Heléne Holmström
An unlikely couple, a forbidden love, and an attraction impossible to deny. This deliciously charged debut offers passion in tantalizing settings.
CHARLOTTA KVIST IS a successful attorney at one of Stockholm’s most prominent law firms. When Bolivian workers sue one of Sweden’s largest clothing manufacturers for inhumane working conditions, she takes the opportunity to help them. If she wins the case there is a big promotion waiting. But, despite her sharp mind and can-do attitude Charlotta suffers from an almost crippling insecurity. Years of oppression as a child have made her easy prey for bullies. So how can she win her big case when her self esteem is wavering at every turn and her closest colleague is doing all he can to ruin things for her?
IGNACIO VARGAS IS on the management team for a large clothing company. He is passionate about sustainability, keeping the environment safe and upholding humane working conditions for all employees. The company he works for prides itself on quality, of their product and the way they do business. So when a group of Bolivian workers sue them for inhumane working conditions his whole world is turned upside down.
WHEN THE TWO meet at a bar sparks fly. What they don’t know is that they are on opposite sides of a huge legal battle that they are both determined to win.
THEY ARE BREAKING every rule by being together. Starting a relationship is out of the question. And yet, the pull is just too strong, they can’t resist. But are they ready to risk everything for the unlikely promise of a happy ending?

REVIEWS
This is romance that is fast, funny and… romantic! Just as it should be. With Working Late Heléne Holmström offers the reader great Swedish romance and I am looking forward to read more from her in the future.

What a debut! It’s almost impossible to stop reading once you’ve started, even though I knew how it would end. Because that’s how it is with romance, they are supposed to end up together in the end. […] I highly recommend Working Late and I’m very much looking forward to Heléne Holmströms next book!

What else could you do but happily cheer when you read Working Late? With Heléne Holmströms debut novel a new star is born on the romance sky. Working Late has all the ingredients that a great romance novel needs and Holmström has not only created good chemistry between the main characters but also between the book and the reader. I love how warm and authentic the protagonists feel and at the same time you’re introduced to a real villain who I don’t doubt is a perfect copy of many chauvinist men who unfortunately exist in real life. But what about the love and the sex? I’m happy to tell you that it’s hot and steamy but also tender and heartwarming, this is definitely a book to curl up on your couch with and just dream away.

If you liked the framing of the tv show Suits then you’re going to this. High heels, long work days, champagne, power struggles and intrigue are all a part of everyday life at the law firm where Charlotta Kvist works. […] Modern romance with smart women and a touch of social criticism.

The forbidden love sparks and I want more! The life at the law firm feels very authentic and real, you can really tell that the author has experience and knows alot about what she writes. Working Late is a romantic tale about facing your past and to be brave enough to face what ever may come.
