Daniela:
A stroke at twenty-seven wasn’t what I had planned for my late twenties but there I was, laying in a hospital bed, hearing the doctor tell me I needed to quit my high-stakes, tech sales job and make some major life changes.
So I finally did it. I walked away from a lucrative salary, endless potential, a possessive boyfriend and long hours to move to the opposite coast and join a thriving family business focused on selling… eggs and whiskey?
Many people thought I was crazy, including myself, but I decided to dive right in. Find a new rhythm and try not to think about what I was leaving behind.
Until I met my new boss and coworker, Lawson Marshall.
Thirty-seven years old with hazel eyes that looked caramel in the east coast sunshine. He knows what he’s doing in a boardroom, I wonder if he knows what he’s doing out of one too…

Lawson:
I’ve always preferred working alone, the same way I live my life. But when my siblings force me to hire a sales and marketing assistant, I eventually give in.
Then I meet her.
Daniela Alba. Gorgeous brown eyes. Hair to match. Off-limits in every way. She’s my employee, someone I should never even look at. So I test her, throw her into situations where she’s bound to fail. Except she never does. She always comes out on top.
We keep our distance…until we can’t. A twist of circumstances lands us as unexpected roommates, and I realize no amount of ignoring or distraction can stop what’s been building between us.
She’s not just my employee anymore, she’s my closest friend and my weakness. And now?
I want her.
