When Grace's sexy but domineering new boss overhears her badmouthing him at work, she quickly finds herself fighting temptation in an unexpected battle of wills.
***
Grace Warren is ready for love, even if love doesn't seem to be ready for her. While on yet another disappointing date, she heads to the bar to reassess, only to catch judgment from an unimpressed stranger, James Evans, who dubs her quest for love shallow and pathetic. Not one to be sidelined by negativity, Grace doesn't hesitate to give him a piece of her mind.
So when her new boss arrives in town mere days later, Grace is horrified to match his devastatingly handsome face to the broody stranger from the pub. Worse, he wants her gone.
But she won't be removed so easily. After firing her, James soon learns that his new office doesn't function without Grace. Forced to invite her back, James must play Grace's game in order to keep her, not knowing how much of her he wants to keep.
