Grumpy Boss, Sunshine Assistant: Grumpy-Sunshine Office Romance

By L. R. Harlow

He runs forty-two floors of glass on black coffee and pure spite.
Beckett Crowe doesn't do small talk, second chances, or sugar. He's burned through six assistants in a single year. Then he gets a seventh - and she says good morning to the lake.
Lila Reyes names donuts. She orders fresh flowers every Tuesday. She has opinions about ceilings she was absolutely not hired to have. And she has decided - for reasons that have nothing to do with her rent and everything to do with the crack she can see in her impossible boss - that she is going to be relentlessly, professionally, infuriatingly kind to Beckett Crowe until it kills one of them.
He wants her to stop.
She has no intention of stopping.
Neither of them plans on the flooded historic hotel. Or the storm that traps them in a lake house with exactly one bed. Or the gala where his hand lands on the small of her back - and stays there.
They keep telling themselves it's just business.
They are lying.
Grumpy-sunshine. Forced proximity. One bed. Slow burn. A banter-soaked office romance with a boss who feels too much, an assistant who never learned to quit, and a happily-ever-after worth every stolen minute.
