I spent the night with a hot, grumpy stranger in an airport hotel. No, not like that. Get your mind out of the gutter. It was just sleeping. And… maybe a little cuddling. Long story short, I embarrassed the heck out of myself. But at least I never have to see him again. Except the universe is clearly out to get me, because Monday morning, I arrive at my new job and who’s the first person I see? Hot stranger himself: Liam Donovan. AKA my new boss. AKA Annie, you are so freaking screwed. While the HR rulebook doesn’t explicitly say you can’t share a bed with your boss, I can read between the lines. And I need this job.
