About this ebook

Dive into this sizzling romantic comedy from USA Today bestselling author Melissa Schroeder.

He is absolutely, completely, and undoubtedly the one man I shouldn't fantasize about.

Other than being my boss, he's too rigid, a workaholic with a checkered past when it comes to women. Knowing all that, I shouldn't think about how his hands would feel on my body, or how his voice would sound when he whispered my name in the dark.

But I can resist him. Mainly because he can't stand me, and he's the kind of boss who makes me think about murder on a daily basis. That's until he shows me his softer side and ignoring my need for him becomes impossible.

No, softer side or not, I have to resist the lure of Grady Hawthorne because if I don't, I'm pretty sure I won't survive the fall.

Warning: This book includes a smack-talking executive assistant, a workaholic boss who has the most amazing...mouth, irritating siblings, a drunken night that ends in jail, and a happily ever after that will make you sigh. Author assumes no responsibility for overheated readers.

Editor's Note

USA Today Bestselling Author...

Enemies-to-lovers is a popular trope, because what isn’t appealing about figuring out that the constant bickering is just unresolved sexual tension? In Schroeder’s book, the heroine is the hero’s executive assistant, but she is far from his underling. Instead, she baits him every chance she gets. The writing is snappy and sexy, and is so vivid it practically flies off the page.

Author

Melissa Schroeder

From an early age, USA Today Bestselling author Melissa loved to read. First, it was the books her mother read to her including her two favorites, Winnie the Pooh and the Beatrix Potter books. She cut her preteen teeth on Trixie Belden and read and reviewed To Kill a Mockingbird in middle school. It wasn’t until she was in college that she tried to write her first stories, which were full of angst and pain, and really not that fun to read or write. After trying several different genres, she found romance in a Linda Howard book. Since her first published book, Grace Under Pressure, Mel has had over 60 short stories, novellas, and novels published. She has written in genres ranging from historical to contemporary to futuristic and has worked with 8 publishers although she handles most of her publishing herself. She is best known for her Harmless and Santini series. After years of following her military husband around the country and world, Mel happily lives with her family in horse and wine country in Northern Virginia.

    I first tried to listen to the audiobook but struggled with the narration and initially thought it was the book itself. Then I decided to read the book instead, and I'm so glad I did! I couldn't put it down and had it read within several hours! I loved Sydney and Grady's dynamic and the heat between them. Really good read!

    This is a great book, just not in audiobook format, the narrators were just too intense, couldn't listen to them, reading was much better and wholy enjoyable.

    Great characters..good banter..family dynamics..friendships and steamy ! Locations are on point too..small towns have their own dynamics and the back drop is Texas !

    Note to the writer/editor: Why are there so many foul expletives in this book? Nobody talks like this and must we be subjected to it when reading a book?
