A Deal with the Bossy Devil
Kyra Parsi
Vengeance (noun): Punishment served by an arrogant, insufferable billionaire who’s hellbent on making you suffer over a teeny, tiny, seven-hundred-million-dollar oopsie. I regret nothing. … Okay, maybe I regret some things. In my defense, I was pretty sure I wouldn’t get caught. Also in my defense, I had no way of knowing that “The Incident” would go viral. But Toronto’s most notorious billionaire isn’t exactly known for his generous or understanding spirit, and he doesn’t want to hear my excuses. Not when my little public stunt cost him the biggest investment deal of his career. What he does want is cold, hard revenge. And that’s how I find myself backed into a corner, forced to strike a deal with the snarly, green-eyed devil. I have no choice but to be at his beck and call 24 hours a day, succumbing to his every bossy whim. But as his demands—and the blistering tension—become increasingly unbearable, I can’t help but start to bite back. Adrien Cloutier isn’t a man to be messed with, though. And as the old saying goes, bad girls deserve to be punished. This is a full-length enemies-to-lovers romance with loads of spicy banter and laugh-out-loud moments, featuring a dimpled bosshole devil in a suit and the smart-mouthed woman who brings him to his knees. (Literally.) ✓ Enemies to lovers ✓ Fake relationship ✓ Only one bed ✓ Three slow-burn peppers ✓ Good girl

Why does my coworker tell me all the time that I need to have bigger hands? I like the size of my hands just fine 😭

I go by the edition I read. The only time I'm not able to is if the cover of the book is not available on here like my recent read Air. The cover I had isn't actually available on here so I went with default cover.

When you are reading a book, do you actually select the edition that you are reading, do you not really care, or do you select the prettiest cover, if there is more than one available?
To be honest, I typically select the prettiest. Since we can select the medium (print, ebook, audio) separatel, I just look through the editions and pick whichever editions I like best. Sometimes not even the language matches (i.e. I read in german but like the english cover better)
Does anyone else do this?
(Edit: I just realised I can’t translate this literally (I think): Hand on heart is a german expression that basically means “speak from the heart”/“be honest”) (Edit 2: I found out “Hand on Heart” exists in english too! Yeay languages!!)
