"Dominic was staring at me like he couldnāt decide whether to chop me into pieces or pull my hair and French kiss me."
Dominic
I got her fired. Okay, so Iād had a bad day and took it out on a bystander in a pizza shop. But thereās nothing innocent about Ally Morales. She proves that her first day of her new job in my office, after being hired by my mother.
So, maybe, her colorful, annoying, inexplicably alluring personality brightens up the magazineās offices that have felt like a prison for the past year. Maybe, I like that she argues with me in front of the editorial staff. And maybe, my after-hours fantasies are haunted by those brown eyes and that sharp tongue.
But that doesnāt mean that Iām going to be the next Russo man to take advantage of his position. I might be a second-generation asshole, but I am not my father. Sheās working herself to death at half a dozen dead-end jobs for some secret reason she doesnāt feel like sharing with me. And Iām going to fix it all.
Donāt accuse me of caring. Sheās nothing more than a puzzle to be solved. If I can get her to quit, I can finally peel away all those layers. Then I can go back to salvaging the family name and forget all about the dancing, beer-slinging brunette.
Ally
Ha! Hold my beer, Grumpy Grump Face.
Authorās note: A steamy, swoony workplace romantic comedy with a grumpy boss hero determined to save the day and a plucky heroine who is starting to wonder if there might actually be a beating heart just beneath her bossā sexy vests.
