Working for Chase Lancaster was supposed to catapult my marketing career. Instead, Iâm trapped in personal-assistant hell. His hobbies include barking orders, torpedoing my advertising campaigns, and reducing the office staff to tears.
On a good day, he acts like Iâm invisible. On a bad day, I remind myself arsenic is not an acceptable sweetener for coffee. And prison orange would be murder on my complexion.
Imagine my surprise when Chase follows me home to Bitter End, North Carolina, where Iâm about to endure my ex-fiancĂ©âs wedding.
The moment he chases off my date and offers to pose as my boyfriend, I know he's got a hidden agendaâespecially when he plays the part a little too convincingly. Unfortunately, I have to play along to find out what heâs really up to.
To satisfy the town gossip squad, Iâll have to let him kiss me. Who knew Satanâs lips were so soft and inviting? And if weâre really playing the part, weâll have to go to Loverâs Laneâtesting my willpower beyond its limits.
The more time we spend together outside the office, though, the more I see a different side of him. Heâs still bossy and demanding, but is it wrong that I find it kind ofâŠwell...hot?
