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.

The Desire Variable | Rewrite
MATURE CONTENT, +18 ONLY When Andy starts a complex and steamy love affair with her new boss, she discovers there's more to his arrogant facade than she originally thought. ⸻ Andrea "Andy" Walker has landed her dream job at Kelex, a company she's admired for years. Her new colleagues have welcomed her with open arms, including the charming and sweet Oliver. But her infuriatingly attractive boss isn't so welcoming. Alexander "Lex" Coleman seems determined to drive her crazy. Despite her best efforts to resist him, Andy finds herself increasingly drawn to Lex's good looks and razor-sharp mind. As the tension between them heats up and their working relationship becomes more complicated, the line between personal and professional blurs. Can she have it all, or will she have to choose between her career and the man she can't resist? ⸻ "I'm telling you," I insist while he gets something from his nightstand. "I'm good. We effectively fucked you out of my system." "Great." He's back with a condom, and he's getting hard again. I'm not well-versed in men's anatomy, but it isn't something that should be already happening, right? I'm still not over it when he puts on the protection, throwing the empty package on the floor. Stunned, I don't protest or resist when he flips me around like a ragdoll, and it's only when I'm on all fours before him, my knees on the edge of the bed, that I understand what he wants. "Wait, I need a brea--" My complaints die in my throat as he pushes himself inside me with a slow but implacable thrust. Then comes the wet touch of his tongue, drawing a burning line in the hollow crest of my spine between my shoulder blades. He nuzzles his way up until his mouth is an inch from my ear. "Now, we're fucking you out of my system," he threateningly mutters. Oh, God... ⸻ This is a rewritten version with a better pace and fewer mistakes.
