Strictly Professional Books in Order

Strictly Professional is a focused two-book romance built around Terrence and Gabi. Rather than shifting to a new couple in book two, Christina C Jones lets the relationship keep unfolding, which gives the series a more concentrated emotional arc than some of her broader ensemble worlds.

The first book, Strictly Professional, sets up the tension between attraction and boundaries. Unfinished Business returns to the same pair with a second-chance frame, proving that deciding you are done with someone and actually being done can be two very different things.

This series is all about carryover.

Old feelings do not disappear just because they are inconvenient. History lingers. Misread moments linger. The idea that something was left unresolved sits at the center of the duet, and Jones uses that well.

If you prefer romance series that stay close to one couple instead of widening into a giant cast, this one should work for you. It is more intimate in scope, but still gives you the emotional friction, chemistry, and conversational ease that define a lot of Jones's work. Read both books together if you can. They are short enough to move through quickly, and the payoff is better when the relationship stays fresh in your mind.
