I don’t even like him.
And I hate that I ever gave in to him.
I'm talking about Billionaire, Grove family heir, and CEO of a winning sports team, Lynx Grove, who has become my one-night mistake.
Sure, he's convinced everyone, including my favorite cousin, that he's a good guy. But au contraire, Lynx Grove is an emotionally unavailable frog every princess should never kiss.
I shouldn't have ignored all his red flags, but I was in a mood. And he was so... incredibly hot. With his jawline and his charm... And by the time he blurted his stupid rule about “no kissing," it was too late. The seduction train was not derailing, if you know what I mean.
So that night, we both broke a few rules.
And then I made a new one: Never see Lynx Grove ever again.
That lasted about thirty seconds because now he’s my new boss.
And as far as I'm concerned, he's still the very last man I should ever, ever fall in love with.
But there’s tension.
There’s banter.
There’s chemistry so intense, it might actually kill me.
But this isn’t a fairy tale.
This is a high-stakes, high-heat, no-sleep kind of story.
And I already know how it ends:
With me breaking every rule I’ve ever made… for a man who swore he’d never love anyone.
