A sexy and unforgettable new series from author Haley Bryant. Falling For the New Guy is about crappy jobs, taking risks, and love worth fighting for.
Lexa Penny plays it safe. She spends her days excelling at a boring job and nights dating men she knows she'll never fall for. Taking chances means getting hurt, and hurt translates to failure. As her mother reminds her, "A penny only stands out if it shines." But the moment Caleb Miller's soulful brown eyes meet hers, Lexa feels something deep inside warn that he could be her undoing.
Caleb Miller is the new guy. New to the marketing team at the Milan Group, a luxurious home builder catering to the deliriously wealthy, he has no idea what's in store for him. His plan is to throw himself into his work and forget his crumbling life-at least for a little while. Those plans are scrapped the moment he meets confident and beautiful Lexa, Executive Assistant to the company President. But Caleb is no stranger to heartbreak and for that very reason, he knows he must stay far, far away from the sexy woman in crimson.
As the attraction between Lexa and Caleb grows, so does the risk of getting hurt. Falling for the new guy was never part of the plan. But some of the best plans are driven by the heart.
