Caleb Morrison is the most uptight man I’ve ever met – and he’s my new boss.

One moment he’s cold, the next he’s unexpectedly sweet. It’s enough to give me whiplash. Despite my attraction to him, I’m convinced we’re too different to be more than friends.

But then he flips the script and I’m left with a decision.

Daisy Wilson is the most intriguing woman I’ve ever met – and she’s my new assistant.

Although we’re complete opposites, I can’t resist her positive energy or the light she brings to my life.

But just as we grow closer, my secret threatens everything.

Pushing her away is the right thing to do.

I just hope she doesn’t listen.

EXCERPT

The second my lips found hers, I knew one taste would never be enough. The kiss exceeded every imaginary scenario I’d come up with over the last few weeks.

Still, I’d gone from zero to one hundred, and it was clear she was shocked by the way her body tensed.

I pulled back, searching her face. “I should’ve asked if I could kiss you. I didn’t mean to—”

She yanked me back to her, now an active participant in this madness.

I walked her into her apartment a few steps so I could use my foot to kick the door shut behind me. One of my hands rested on her hip, the other at the back of her neck.

Reluctantly, I broke the kiss, locking my gaze on her big green eyes. “This wasn’t part of the plan.”

“You planned not to kiss me?”

“Yeah, you want to hear about how it’s going?”

Her giggle bubbled up, causing me to grin.

My hands framed her face. As much as I craved another kiss, my conscience intervened. “You and I want different things.”

“Oh, I don’t know. Right now I want you to keep kissing me, so I’d say our wants are pretty aligned.”

I groaned, moving my lips to her neck where inhaling her scent made me have to close my eyes. I desired her so badly, my body was shaking. “I meant long term you want marriage and kids, and I don’t.”

“You’re right. I do want those things.”

Fuck, my head told me to walk away now. My body, however, was moving her into her bedroom. My hands skimmed down to breasts I’d spent many a minute dreaming about. I was afraid if I didn’t touch her now, I’d never get another chance.

“I won’t change my mind.” I wasn’t sure who I was trying to convince.

“Me, either.”

“But I don’t want to stop this.” Selfish as it might be.

She had no doubt in her expression. “Good. Me, either.”

BLURB

Chance Maxwell is the most arrogant man I’ve ever known – and he’s my boss.

Worse, he’s incredibly sexy. At least until he opens his condescending mouth. I hate being indebted to him for this job, but I have more important priorities to worry about.

My attraction to him is growing despite my better judgment.

But I sure as hell won’t ever reveal it to him.

Tory Larson is the most stubborn woman I’ve ever met – and I’ve hired her as my new assistant.

She’s different from my usual women, and my plan to leave her alone is failing miserably.

Maybe the best way to rid her from my system is to address this inexplicable spark between us.

Only, I’m in over my head.

I’m a man who always gets what I want.

She may be the exception.

EXCERPT

“Why are you out here?”

“I’m restless and couldn’t sleep.”

Her voice was husky, laced with a touch of need. But even I wasn’t asshole enough to take advantage of it. “I’ll leave you be.”

She moved closer, putting her hand on my chest. My body shuddered. Shuddered like a prepubescent teenage boy who’d never felt a woman’s touch.

I wanted her, and yet my seldom-present conscience wouldn’t allow me to act on my attraction to her. Not while she was this vulnerable. Guess there was a first time for everything. “This isn’t a good idea.”

She didn’t pretend to misunderstand me. “No, it isn’t.”

I should have walked away. A better man would have. I leaned in, my lips inches from her ear. I could practically feel the buzz coming off of her. “I should leave, before we do something you’ll hate me for tomorrow.”

“What if I hate you now? Would another reason matter?”

My chuckle filled the air. “You wish you still hated me.”

“True. It was easier before you were thoughtful.”

I searched her face. “If I kiss you, will you kiss me back or bite off my tongue?”

She smirked. “Only one way to find out.”

I crashed my lips to hers, groaning like a man who’d been starved too long and was getting his first taste of the finest meal. Tory didn’t disappoint, meeting my needy kiss with one of her own.

Fuck. When was the last time I’d actually taken the time to kiss a woman? Slide my tongue inside of her mouth and taste her? The answer was as empty as my aptitude for giving a shit about most people.

I moved my hands down to her ass and lifted her up, practically weeping with pleasure at the way her legs wrapped so perfectly around my waist. My strides were long and purposeful, eating up the distance until we arrived at my pool house. Letting her down easy, I then pinned her against the door while I fumbled with the code to let us in.

Excerpt

Aiden sat behind his massive desk and glanced at what appeared to be a copy of my resumé. “How long have you worked for Delmont Security?”

Jumping straight into the interview. Okay. I could do this. I smoothed back my blond hair while reminding myself not to play with it. “About eight months.”

“You’ve been working with Tom Wilde the entire time?”

I tried not to cringe at the name of my former boss. It had only been two hours since he’d fired me, and I was still reeling from the incident.

“Yes. I’ve been working for Tom since I started here.” And whatever you do, please do not ask why we parted ways.

“What made you leave the position?”

Crap. “It was a mutual decision based on incompatibility.” I hoped my words sounded professional yet vague enough they weren’t a lie.

He studied me like he was a human lie detector. Was the temperature getting hotter in the room?

I squirmed under his heavy scrutiny.

“Reid, the interim HR Director, indicated there may have been a specific incident. One I’d rather hear about from you than from Tom.”

Double crap. I inhaled, realizing I had no choice but to come clean. “Yes, I suppose I’d rather you hear it from me, too.”

He waited, his amazing blue eyes focused on mine, making it clear he wouldn’t settle for less than the truth.

I took a deep breath, hoping to steady myself, not exactly proud of what I had to say. “I may have, uh, called Tom a pussy.”

Both Aiden’s brows shot up with surprise. “Come again?”

I forced air into my lungs and upped the volume in my shaking voice. It was taking everything I had to keep my composure.  “I said, I may have called Tom a pussy.”

For a moment Aiden didn’t speak. Then, looking as though he was trying to cover his shock, he cleared his throat. “May have?”

Pretty sure I was off the reservation as far as bad interviews went. “Did. I did call him a pussy.”

“And he overheard you?”

“Not exactly.” I crossed my legs and then uncrossed them.

Aiden stood up and walked with a slight limp to face the window. I could’ve sworn his lips twitched, but his lack of eye contact wasn’t a good sign. Calling my former boss a pussy didn’t exactly scream good assistant material to the potential new one.

“There are a lot of maybes and not exactlys, Chloe. I’m partial to the facts if you don’t mind.”

Right. Best to get the entire thing out. It would make for a great drunken story someday: how I’d called my boss a pussy, lost my job and my work visa for the UAE, and caused my family to become homeless.

Now would’ve been a good time to lie or at least stretch the truth. I did neither. “I was upset with Tom and using instant messenger to write about Tom when I accidentally mistyped who the message was meant for. So I sent a message which said TOM IS A PUSSY to Tom.”

Still not facing me, Aiden coughed into his hand. Finally, he pivoted toward me. “Who was the message intended for?”

“A colleague.” I wouldn’t name Teagan in this mess. Reid had guessed she was the intended recipient since she was both my roommate and best friend, but I didn’t need to out her to Aiden.

 “What did Tom say about this message?”

“He simply came out of his office and asked, ‘Is this how you talk about me behind my back?’” He’d been red faced and had sputtered his words with a piece of spinach wedged between his teeth. It wasn’t a scene I wished to relive.

“And?”

The devil on my shoulder had been tempted to give Tom a piece of my mind for what he’d done to warrant my name calling. But as was often the case, I hadn’t given into the temptation and stood up for myself. Guess Tom wasn’t the only pussy.

“I didn’t really respond.” I’d been in shock that I’d accidentally typed the message to him instead of to my roommate.

“Why did you call him a pu—the name you called him?”

In any other situation, I would’ve giggled at Aiden’s word flinch. I could guarantee nobody called the man in front of me a pussy. He presented sheer confidence. “I believed Tom had earned the name in this situation.”

“Did you apologize?” Aiden resumed the seat behind his desk.

Huh. Recalling the moment, I realized, nope. I sure hadn’t. Which was unlike me since I was Canadian, and apologies were in our DNA. “I don’t believe I had the chance. I was fired on the spot.”

“What did Tom do to warrant the name?”

Although I loathed my ex-boss and everything the man stood for, I wasn’t about to out his extramarital affair or the fact he’d thrown me under the bus to his wife. It wasn’t professional, and I wasn’t a gossip. I’d related the whole story to Reid because, as HR director, he had to keep the matter confidential. But telling Aiden seemed improper. “I’d rather not say as it’s of a delicate nature. Since you’re his colleague, I’m not sure it would be right for you to know the details.”

Aiden steepled his fingers. “I see.”

Triple crap. Time to plead my case. “I’m not proud of what happened, Mr. Samuels. I’m aware it was highly unprofessional and I wouldn’t take this second chance lightly if it was given to me. I work hard, I’m easy to get along with, and above anything, I hope my confession has showed I never lie even though this is an interview, and I know my words haven’t exactly painted me in the best light.”

“You’re loyal to the man who fired you?”

I wasn’t sure if it was a question or a statement, so I simply said, “Yes. Unfortunately, it would appear so.” I wondered if I should’ve spilled the dirt instead of sealing my fate with loyalty to someone who didn’t deserve it.

Aiden deliberated my answer while sitting back in his chair, his gaze never leaving mine. Damn, his intensity made me edgy.

“I admire your loyalty, especially given the circumstances. I also believe in second chances.”

I wanted to let out a breath of relief but sensed he wasn’t done.

“But for us to work together, I have a few rules.”

My mind was already busy coming up with a mental list of naughty rules I wished he’d give me. I certainly hadn’t ever felt this way about Tom, with his stupid JC Penney-catalog-model haircut, inability to chew with his mouth closed, and condescending tone.

But the last thing I needed was to lust over my new boss. “Okay. What are they?”

“Number one is honesty at all times. If you think I’m being a pussy, you tell me to my face.”

Liam Davenport is the most infuriating man I’ve ever known – and he’s my boss.

Worse, he’s undeniably sexy. At least until I’m subject to one of his trademark sighs of disapproval. I’m counting the days until I can walk away from this job. But first, I need to survive the trip from hell he’s dragged me on. One entire week with his arrogant smile and my unexpected naughty thoughts.

I might get fired.

He just might be worth it.

Kendall Tate is the most distracting woman I’ve ever met – and she’s my assistant.

She’s irritatingly clever, and much too nice for the likes of me. I need to remain professional, even if the smell of her strawberry lip gloss is my kryptonite. No matter how much I want her, Kendall is off limits.

Growing closer to her might be a mistake.

I might just take the risk.

Excerpt

After a hot shower, I dressed in jeans and a sweater. Looking out the window, I saw there was a good inch of snow already covering the surfaces. It reminded me of my childhood when we’d pray for a snow day so we could go sledding down the neighborhood hill instead of school. A movement shifted my gaze to the corner of the back yard. I saw a figure in olive green on the ground. 

Holy shit. Kendall had fallen. I rushed down the stairs, pausing only to frantically yank on my boots before running out the back door and down the steps toward where I saw her on the ground.

I found her laughing. Was she delirious from the cold? A bump on the head?

“What the hell are you doing?” I asked.

She looked up with rosy cheeks, bright eyes, and the biggest smile I’d ever seen on her face. “Making a snow angel.”

“Why?” It was truly baffling to me.

“Because this is my first time seeing snow.”

Her purple sparkly boots peeked out from the giant parka, making me shake my head. She looked like a toddler poorly dressed for the weather in hand-me-downs.

“You’d best get up before the snow seeps through all of your clothes.”

She stuck her tongue out in response. “Go away. I’m not on the clock yet, and you’re ruining my fun.”

“I came racing down here because I thought you’d fallen.”

“Oh, yeah? Did you come out to rescue me? Or hope you could quickly hide the body?” she asked, holding out her gloved hand.

I pulled her up without much effort. I’d be surprised if her petite stature weighed more than a hundred pounds. Her grin was infectious despite my hangover. “Depends. Did you make coffee?”

Her lips twitched in a smile. “I did. I’ll even give you some. Just as soon as you help me make a snowman.”

She was adorable. And not in the toddler kind of way. The type of way that made me want her to hook her legs around my waist so I could take her against a wall.
