What the boss wants, the boss gets.

But will her games turn deadly before the boss can bring her home and lock her down for good?

I zipped through this book, though I didn’t mean to! There was such crazy, wild, chemistry between the characters, they had me completely invested in them getting/staying together. Of course, that wasn’t easy, as they sparked in other ways as well, and their combativeness made for some spectacular disagreements. Didn’t see the conflict brewing that brought such darkness, but, loved how it solidified our couple <3
