Dominic was staring at me like he couldn’t decide whether to chop me into pieces or pull my hair and French kiss me.

Dominic
I got her fired. Okay, so I’d had a bad day and took it out on a bystander in a pizza shop. But there’s nothing innocent about Ally Morales. She proves that the first day at her new job… in my office… after being hired by my mother.

So maybe her colorful, annoying, inexplicably alluring personality brightens up the magazine’s 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 doesn’t mean that I’m going to be the next Russo man to take advantage of his position. I might be a second-generation son of a… fill in the blank, but I am not my father.

She’s working herself to death at half a dozen dead-end jobs for some secret reason she doesn’t feel like sharing with me. And I’m going to fix it all. Don’t accuse me of caring. She’s nothing more than a puzzle to be solved. If I can get her to quit, I can finally peel back 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.

Author’s 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 beneath her boss’s sexy vests.

**This book was known as Grumpy Grump Face while I was writing it. It will be released with an alternate Grumpy Grump Face inside the ebook!

What happens when you reach 70% on your Kindle and you realize that you have spent the majority of that time with a big smile on your face. This is what this book has done to me.

The banter between the main characters is freaking fantastic and I love a good office romance.

Dominic (God, I love this name) has been in his father place for over a year now, running a company he has no idea how to run. After trying to hide what his father did, Dom and his mother keep things quiet.

But when Dom gets Ally fired, and his mother hires her to undo a wrong, things start to become hectic.

This is an enemies to romance trope, but is more on how to ignore the attraction you have with your employee. Dominic is focused on not becoming his father and because this chemistry between them is too hard to handle, he tries very hard to not touch Ally.

Meanwhile, Ally has some serious troubles and is in need of money to keep her father in a nursing home. That is why she is more focused on 3-4 jobs to help pay the bill.

Oh, and if you’re looking to read some mature romance, Dom is in his early 40s while Ally is 39.
