Arkadie comes a hilarious, fun, and entertaining romantic comedy where an assistant straddles that fine line between love and hate with her rake of a billionaire boss. I have the worst boss in New York City. And I am sick and tired of breaking his dates, picking up his dry cleaning, doing his job for him; and recently, he hit an all-time low when he disrupted my beauty sleep so that I could bring him cold water while he jogged through my neighborhood. I didn't think he paid attention enough to know where I lived! I will take some accountability here. After all, there's a method to this man's madness. My boss's name is Orion Lord. And when Orion asks me to shoot for the moon on his behalf, he's never a jerk about it. He does it while seducing me with his spellbinding smirk and hypnotizing me with his sultry eyes. Orion is a shameless flirt and King of the modern-day rakes, being that he's charming, gorgeous, and oh-so seductive. But he's also a heartbreak waiting to happen ladies - so don't even go there. However, I've had enough of this pampered billionaire playboy, who's actually very smart and capable when he puts his mind to it. But he never puts his mind to it. As I said, I’m done. And as soon as I'm ready to slap Orion with my two-week notice, he tasks me with being his date for his brother's Las Vegas wedding weekend. I can't tell him where he could take this new job assignment and shove it because I need a fat final paycheck. For some odd reason, he sweetened the deal. It's as if he knew I was going to quit. Hmm. . .But we're now in Vegas. Last night there was a big party. It's the next morning, the day of the wedding, and something has gone terribly, terribly wrong. I woke up naked in someone else's bed and can't remember how I got here. "Who's that snoring?" Gasp! It's my terrible boss, and he's not wearing anything either. What's this on my finger? Oh no! In a panic, I decide he can never learn about this little scene of ours, so I hide all the evidence and any signs that I've been in his room. But how long can I keep this secret? Especially as the boss I loathe slowly convinces me he just might be the man I can't live without. Boss On Notice, a standalone, full-length billionaire boss romance, is loads of fun - and has plenty of laugh-out-loud moments coupled with slow-burn passion to keep you turning the pages.
