My first day of my new job can’t possibly go worse, right?
Wrong.
When I meet Parker Scott, I realize this job is going to be a lot harder than I thought it would be. Quitting isn’t an option; I’ll have to learn to deal with the three Bossholes in one way or another.
Every assistant I hire is gone before the end of the day. Most leave crying within hours of starting. I’m not an easy person to work for, I know this. But. I. Don’t. Care. I expect my assistants to work hard and do their job. I don’t want their opinions or thoughts… until I meet Logan.
She quickly becomes indispensable to the company and my heart.
What’s more embarrassing than asking a man whore for help getting a boyfriend?
Falling in love with said whore and knowing your feelings will never be returned.
I’m a disaster when it comes to me. I don’t know how to flirt and I’ve never been kissed. All I want is for Prince Charming to come into my life. I’ll do just about anything to get him, even ask my best friend’s soon to be brother from another mother in-law, Owen, to help me. If the playboy himself can’t teach me how to land the man of my dreams, no one can. But what happens when he’s the only man I want?
Carrie hates me. Not like ‘I don’t wanna hang out with you alone’ type hate, more of a ‘I wish I never met you’ type hate. Wanna know how I know this? She’s told me several times.
I’m shocked when she asks for my help getting a boyfriend. She’s a solid eleven, my help is the last thing she needs. But since I’d do just about anything to spend time alone with her, I agree. The more I learn about Carrie, the closer we get, the further I fall. When she starts testing her new skills on other men, I realize how much I don’t want that. I want that. I want Carrie all for myself, but I’ll never be enough for someone like her. She deserves so much more than what I can give her.
If I’ve said it once in my life, I’ve said it nine thousand times. ‘Stay away from your best friend’s sister!’ It worked for a while, until a college party. When that ended in disaster, I nearly had it tattooed on my forehead. We kept our distance after that, but I never filled that Avery shaped hole in my heart. Then my ‘brother from another mother’ tells me she’s here to take her position in the family company, and in she sweeps looking better than any fantasies I’ve had over the years. Fantastic. Cue the mantra. I don’t know why I think it’ll work now. Avery isn’t someone you can ignore. She’s the world’s greatest distraction.
At one point, Luke was my everything. Our time together in college changed me on a molecular level and I was so sure we were destined to be that couple people wished they could be. Then reality slapped me in the face and my everything turned into a steaming pile of nothing. Fast forward two years, and all those Luke shaped molecules turn into Luke-haters. Now, he’s everything I hate in men. The top of my dating checklist says “Not Luke”. I don’t know why I think cannon balling back into his life is a good idea. At first, I just want to prove myself to him and take my place at the company. But Luke’s a gorgeous distraction I don’t need, one I’m not sure my heart can handle.
