From the moment Andy starts working for Lex, their lives spiral into a chaos of heated arguments and forbidden desires. Soon, they must decide if their budding relationship is worth risking their careers. ✦•······················•✦•······················•✦ When Andrea "Andy" Walker lands her dream job at a tech company, her new colleagues welcome her with open arms. It would be nothing short of perfect if it weren't for her new boss. Obnoxious, curt, and aloof, he seems determined to make her life difficult. He's everything she shouldn't want, and yet Andy soon finds herself helplessly drawn to his striking looks and razor-sharp mind. Alexander "Lex" Coleman likes having every aspect of his life meticulously planned and organized. That goes flying out the window the moment he meets Andrea, the feisty new programmer who challenges him at every turn. Not only is she far from the compliant employee he expected, she also triggers a plethora of confusing emotions with her sharp tongue, strong mind, and tempting curves. In between heated arguments, something far more intense grows between them-something they can't quite control. Before they know it, their working relationship gets all tangled up in his high-thread-count sheets. Now, they both face their own dilemma. Should Andy risk her career, new life, and budding friendships for a sizzling affair with her boss? And should Lex jeopardize the solitary life he always envisioned for himself?✦•······················•✦•······················•✦Content This work contains explicit content and mature language and is intended for an adult audience only (18+).
