About this book
Dominic Russo is a man with a reputation for being a second-generation grump, and he’s currently in a foul mood. After a disastrous encounter at a local pizza shop results in a stranger getting fired, he assumes he’s seen the last of her. However, his mother has other plans, and Ally Morales—the very woman he helped get fired—walks into his office on her first day as his new employee. This classic "grumpy boss" workplace romance ignites immediately with electric tension and sharp-tongued banter. While Dominic is determined to keep things professional and avoid the mistakes of his past, he finds himself inexplicably drawn to Ally’s vibrant personality and mysterious, hardworking nature. Ally, meanwhile, refuses to be intimidated by her brooding, vest-wearing superior, leading to a fiery dynamic that challenges both of them. As they navigate the confines of the office, the tension shifts from professional hostility to undeniable attraction. Dominic views Ally as a puzzle he needs to solve, but he soon realizes that she might be the one to finally thaw his icy exterior. Packed with humor, heart, and a slow-burn romance, this addictive story proves that even the most stubborn hearts can be unraveled.

See all formats and editions "Dominic was staring at me like he couldn’t decide whether to chop me into pieces or pull my hair and French kiss me." Dominic I got her fired. Okay, so I’d had a bad day and took it out on a bystander in a pizza shop. But there’s nothing innocent about Ally Morales. She proves that her first day of her new job in my office, after being hired by my mother. So, maybe, her colorful, annoying, inexplicably alluring personality brightens up the magazine’s offices that have felt like a prison for the past year. Maybe, I like that she argues with me in front of the editorial staff. And maybe, my after-hours fantasies are haunted by those brown eyes and that sharp tongue. But that doesn’t mean that I’m going to be the next Russo man to take advantage of his position. I might be a second-generation asshole, but I am not my father. She’s working herself to death at half a dozen dead-end jobs for some secret reason she doesn’t feel like sharing with me. And I’m going to fix it all. Don’t accuse me of caring. She’s nothing more than a puzzle to be solved. If I can get her to quit, I can finally peel away all those layers. Then I can go back to salvaging the family name and forget all about the dancing, beer-slinging brunette. Ally Ha! Hold my beer, Grumpy Grump Face. Author’s note: A steamy, swoony workplace romantic comedy with a grumpy boss hero determined to save the day and a plucky heroine who is starting to wonder if there might actually be a beating heart just beneath her boss’ sexy vests. ) ©2020 That's What She Said Publishing, Inc.
