Connor Lockhart is gorgeous, grumpy, and about as charming as a brick wall. He’s also-plot twist-my new boss.Our first meeting? A total disaster. I’m late for a major panel at a gaming convention, standing in line for a burrito, and the guy in front of me is treating the menu like it’s a gourmet tasting. I ask if I can cut. He says no-like I asked for his social security number. I may or may not have dumped super spicy salsa all over his precious order.Fast forward: that burrito snob? Now signs my paychecks. At the company of my dreams.Dream job. Nightmare boss.He’s impossible-cold, cranky, allergic to small talk. Smiling seems physically painful for him.Sure, he’s got that jaw-dropping face. And when the smile does show up? Swoon.But there’s something else-something under all that grump that’s way too easy to like.When his nine-year-old daughter starts feuding with my nine-year-old half-sister, we’re forced into a truce. Then a kiss. Then... way too many feelings.I don’t want to fall for my grumpy boss. I just want to get him out of my system.Too bad my heart has other plans.
