When Molly meets her intimidating new boss, Beatrice, she’s judged by her last name and fancy connections—not her talent. But Molly’s no pushover. She loves her job with the Washington Wolves and won’t let anyone doubt her. A powerful project with Amazon lands in her lap, and now, she must prove she’s more than just a pretty face.
“Thanks,” I said dryly. “I mean, if people have a problem with how you run things, it’s probably because they pissed you off, and you held them accountable. That’s how I do things too.” I ran a hand down my face and could not ignore the way my heart was racing in my chest. This…
“I hope that rule applies to you, too,” Aiden grumbled. The choke came first, and I slapped a hand over my mouth, but in the process, I tried to exhale. Which brought water right up my fucking nose. The cringe on Emily’s face was more than enough for me to know just how mortifying I…
Everyone else at the gym had made a concerted effort to seek me out and get to know me. And it was the exact opposite with her. Maybe that was why I found my gaze drawn to her. The softness she’d shown my daughter was the most disconcerting of all. Before that, all I’d seen…
I blew out a slow breath, imagining all the ways this could go sideways. “Can’t blame you, kid. I’d probably fake sick too.” Her smile was bigger this time, and I caught a glimpse of an adorable gap where her front teeth would eventually grow in. My nephew Emmett lost his when he was almost…
Her chin stuck out. “I’m not getting down for you.” She pointed at me. “I’m getting down because of her trick.” “Fine,” Aiden said evenly. “Can I jump off the top?” “Absolutely not.” She sighed dramatically, but reached her arms out. He moved underneath the beam and as I watched those arms extend toward her,…
I hid a pleased smile. Just barely. It’d felt like my place since the first day I walked in. “All the same.” I kept my reply even, professional. “It’s your name on the building, or it will be soon enough. You can make your mark on it without my say-so.” After I said the words,…
“One, I find that highly unlikely, and two, show me.” Molly tugged the curtain aside, and when she caught sight of me, her smile was massive. “Iz, I love it. You look so pretty!” With a skeptical glance at the mirror, I tugged at the drapey things over my shoulders. “There are frills. On my…
I sucked at both. Now that I looked at her more carefully, she was wearing one of those sports bras that wasn’t really a sports bra, the kind that flashed more cleavage than a Victoria’s Secret ad. Gawd, I sounded like such a judgy bitch. So I softened my smile. “Not that I know of,…
He dipped his chin, eyes flickering in my direction once more, then disappeared into the office. As soon as it was just Amy and me, I gestured to the edge of the boxing ring that dominated the center of the main room. She sat first, and I followed. “I didn’t …” She paused, shaking her…
Yes, I considered her a friend because we’d worked together for five years. And yes, I desperately wanted to talk to her about this entire thing. I wanted to tell her how I was hiding from the hot man who now signed my paychecks and covered my body in butterflies, and at one point in…
