A cozy, hilarious Upstate NY based romcom📖📘❄️
Christmas is the time to be merry and bright . . . unless you’ve got a Scrooge for a boss.
Beau Broswell inheriting his father’s designer clothing company was the start of a horde of problems. As the CEO of Opulent, he’s in charge of everything, from the employees to the exhausting board meetings to quieting down the gossip that roams all forty floors. To the outside world, he has it all together. But those closest to him know he’s a walking train wreck in a sharp suit.
Then she appears, and the chaos explodes.
From the moment new temp Kayla Carlisle first smiled at him, batting those wispy lashes, Beau knew that she was trouble. The high-maintenance kind that came with too many expectations and complaints. And damn, did she have a smart mouth. Lucky him.
With the Christmas holiday and a slew of company events approaching, the staff at Opulent are rushing to complete their end-of–the-year tasks. Kayla’s arrival finds her waist-deep in work, but she’s ready to take on whatever challenges Beau has for her.
This sexy little temp isn’t sticking around. As long as he remembers that, there will be no problems. If only she’d stop being so damn good at her job.
