    Rachel Wood knows everything.

    04/16/2026 | 22 mins.
    Author Rachel Wood stopped by our headquarters to discuss her new workplace romance, Annie Knows Everything. What followed went well beyond water cooler chat: a lively conversation about office politics, corporate jargon, and a headstrong heroine HR would not approve of.
    After getting fired, Annie bluffs her way into a job she's widely unqualified for, working under an infuriatingly attractive boss who isn't buying it. Now she must survive the job, resist her growing feelings, and stop her sister's disastrous engagement, without everything falling apart.
