About the book
Equipped with comfortable pants, overpriced coffee, and a highly anxious emotional-support corgi, I gear up to confront him.
He is the corporate boss. The villain. As I enter his office, his perfectly formed mouth curls into a sneer.
There lies no heart of gold beneath that expensive suit, only a vast black void. He is a shark in the turbulent waters of high-stakes finance.
He may be the epitome of a jerk CEO, striking fear in all who cross his path, but he has never faced off against a basic woman in her thirties.
I am just like any other girl - loving Starbucks, greige home décor, and exchanging snarky remarks with my best friend. I even have a stalker from a regrettable singles' party mishap.
Yes, the stalker is a problem, one I hope will vanish if I simply ignore it.
But I cannot ignore him.
He stands tall with mocking comments, dissecting every aspect of me as he circles, aiming for the kill.
He wouldn't fire me, though. That wouldn't be entertaining. His desire is for me to resign, to break down mentally.
Well, he can join the queue behind my money-grabbing sister, my guilt-inducing mother, and the aforementioned stalker.
He locks eyes with me.
I steady myself, awaiting the verbal assault...
Instead, he states, 'I need a date tonight, and unfortunately, it has to be you.'
This enemies-to-lovers romantic comedy is a novel filled with sizzling yet morally ambiguous protagonists, a touch of suspense, and, of course, a perfect happily ever after!
