At all.If somebody Googled "cautious, responsible, people-pleasing eldest daughter", a picture would probably come up of me baking twenty-four loaves of banana bread for all the neighbors in our building after my roommate flooded the bathroom.So, as you can see, I am not the kind of person to catch feelings for my ex’s tech-billionaire father after spending three days stranded at his house over Christmas.Nor am I the type to keep in touch with him after I go home, keeping up the façade of friendship when the unspoken “if only things were different” hangs over our heads.Now, it’s Valentine’s Day, and Julian Ballard is on my doorstep.It shouldn’t change anything. After all, cautious, responsible, people-pleasing girls do not fall in love with their ex-girlfriend’s father....Oops.

Thanks to him, I’ll now be spending my days stapling pieces of paper together at his architecture firm, under the watchful eye of his business partner... moreI dedicated my entire life to ballet, and what did it get me?

The man might be obscenely attractive, but he’s also a conceited playboy with too much money and a pathological fear of commitment.The one silver lining in this situation? My new boss really, really wants me and, as it turns out, I really, really like being a tease. less
