Business Before Pleasure

By Chrissy Munder

Joel Anderson is on the fast-track to upper management, and he doesn’t care who he steps on in the process. But when the man he thought was a mentor steals his idea and uses it against him during a meeting, the only thing Joel sees in his future is the unemployment line.

Bryce Harris has been in Joel’s shoes. After months of working with Joel and not even having him know his name, Bryce gives up on both the job and the man he wants.

Can the two men work together before time runs out to keep more than their customer satisfied?

Business Before Pleasure

By Chrissy Munder

Chapter 1

Son of a bitch!

Joel Anderson didn’t say the words aloud. He didn’t, he prayed, show even the tiniest crack in his calm and professional exterior. But while he managed to maintain appearances on the outside, the seething roil of anger inside wanted nothing more than for him to leap to his feet and wipe the smirk off the face of one Charles Myers IV with a well-placed punch to the nuts.

Well, that and he wanted to vomit.

Neither of those two options were on the table. He was in the middle of the biggest client meeting to date in his not so long and not so illustrious career, and even if the foundation of both his world and his presentation just collapsed, he couldn’t fall apart now.
