In New York’s capital city, power hums beneath everything—political, corporate, electric.

Anne Neuman knows how to navigate all of it. She’s sharp, composed, and as the marketing lead at a clean energy firm, she understands how to move near power without losing herself to it.

Damien Wilson is harder to avoid.

He’s the CEO. Calculated. Untouchable. And unraveling quietly in a corner office sixty stories up.

Neither of them is looking for intimacy. Neither of them is prepared for what happens when it finds them anyway—quiet at first, then impossible to ignore. What builds between them isn’t just chemistry—it’s a negotiation. Of boundaries. Of control. Of what it means to be truly seen.

As Anne and Damien edge toward something fragile and real, other threads begin to pull in the background. A second voice. A second history. A second heartbeat.

Because connection never comes alone.

At its core, it's about sonder—the quiet realization that every person carries a story as vivid and intricate as your own.

Content Warning

Heyyyy. Erik (Damien’s brother) here. So, before you dive in:

Wilsonder isn’t a light read. It’s layered, complicated, kinda messy, very hot in places, and occasionally tender enough to make you stare into the void for a bit.

This story contains:

  • Explicit sex (the kind where people feel things—emotionally and physically. Sorry. Or... you’re welcome?)

  • Swearing (a lot.)

  • Substance use (weed, booze, bad decisions)

  • Power dynamics (some romantic, some corporate, some awkwardly both)

  • Family tension (because of course)

  • Mental health themes (hi, it’s me, hi)

  • Heavy emotional stuff like grief, trauma, ambition, shame, and the desperate need to be seen

  • Class divides and wealth (don’t worry, we make fun of the rich... except when we are the rich. Damien, you ass.)

  • One emotionally constipated CEO and the woman who sees through all his bullshit (and for that reason, I like her)

If you are of appropriate legal age, read with care, or with a drink in your hand. Either way, you’ve been warned. 😘
