The Grumpy Boss Agreement
A grumpy boss and single dad with a big project on the horizon. His sexy new assistant, who has a brilliant smile, a sunny attitude, and an oversized heart. The stolen kiss that they can’t forget, no matter how much they try…
After my fiancée left me standing at the altar, I kissed a gorgeous, sultry woman. Months later, that same sunny blonde with a dazzling smile is introduced as Savannah, my new assistant. I try not to panic, but I’ve been fantasizing about her ever-so-kissable lips during my dark, lonely nights. Savannah needs money, and I happen to need a community mouthpiece who can sweet talk the locals.
It’s a match made in heaven… or in my personal hell. From the first second I look into Savannah’s pretty green eyes, I am toast. She is bright and chipper and eager to help a grumpy boss like me succeed. I can bark orders at her all day, but she just smiles and hops to it. It’s annyong how Savannah just smiles at people and somehow ends up getting her way.
Moving back home to Cape Simon is what’s best for my son Charlie. Being a single dad to him all by myself has been tough. Here he can be surrounded by my large, close-knit family. That’s assuming my pro-athlete brother Rex doesn’t drive me insane with his endless demands first.
Lovely, sweet Savannah sticks around to lend me a hand. I’m powerless to resist her sunshine-y charm. She just loves to help anyone and everyone. And what do I do? Grab her by the shoulders, pull her against my body, and kiss her lips until she’s breathless. It’s stupid, reckless, and thoughtless… but it feels so right.
Opposites attract, but nothing can happen between us. I’m not planning on staying in town long. And she’s such a good girl that she practically screams relationship material. Been there, done that, got jilted in a tux.
There’s no way I’m going to kiss her again. No matter how gorgeous she looks, how desperately I start to want her, or how many times we get stuck together spending all afternoon in a tiny swamp shack…
A wealthy man who needs a fake fiancée to be taken seriously. A country beauty who desperately wants a baby. The fake fiancée proposition she agrees to in exchange for a baby bargain.
As a hard-nosed CEO, I’m not used to needing anyone or anything to feel complete. I’m too busy to date anybody seriously. But when a huge piece of property comes onto the market, I need my trust fund to buy it. The only problem is that to gain access to that money, I have to be engaged.
Finding my soulmate hasn’t exactly been my priority in life. But I don’t have to find Mrs. Right. All I have to do is buy a ring and figure out just who to ask to be the fake future Mrs. Right Now. When I drunkenly ask breathtaking beauty Pearl for a one night stand, it all falls right into my lap.
Bright, quirky, molten-brown eyes that I could drown in. Pearl has a lot of attributes to like. But it seems that self-determined Pearl needs something in return. A sperm donor. Pearl is baby crazy in the worst way and too impatient to meet her baby daddy the old-fashioned way.
So I make her a proposition. Pearl poses as my fiancée for three months. And in exchange, I get to have steamy, no-strings-attached sex with the most beautiful girl I’ve ever seen until she’s knocked up.
I have big dreams that will one day take me out of this small town. And I’m not stupid, so I propose a set of rules to keep her from falling for me. No kissing or touching unless we are either in front of my family or about to have the best sex of my whole damn life.
Pearl and I can never be an item, no matter how good we look posing together for family pictures. There is a big fat secret surrounding the piece of property I’m trying to buy. When Pearl finds out about it, she’s going to hate me.
Until that moment though, I can’t get enough of her sultry moans, her throaty laugher, or her unbelievably soft skin. Caught in a trap of my own making, I’m a man driven by a need to possess the one woman that I cannot have.
