My Grumpy Boss' Obsession

DEXTER

Delilah Dean is supposed to be temporary.

Five days. That's all.

Then I step off the elevator Monday morning, see her sitting outside my office in pink glasses, and something inside me goes completely off the rails.

Within hours, I know how she takes her coffee. I know which men make her laugh. I know exactly how many feet separate her desk from mine, and somehow it's still too damn far. I invent reasons to call her into my office. I watch for the elevator that brings her to me every morning. I hate anyone who stands too close to her.

And when I learn she'll be gone on Friday, I can barely tolerate the thought.

Because I don't want five days with Delilah.

I want her glasses on my bathroom counter. Her ridiculous pink things taking over my house. Her sleepy voice in my kitchen. Her body curled against mine every night. I want to know every habit, every smile, every secret little piece of her until there is nothing about this woman I haven't made part of my life.

I've built an empire by identifying what I want and refusing to stop until I have it.

Now I want Delilah.

And losing her is no longer an option.

DELILAH

I'm pretty sure Dexter Holmes hates me.

My gorgeous, terrifying boss goes rigid whenever I get too close. He barely speaks when I bring him coffee. He watches me through the glass walls of his office, then looks away the second I catch him.

A man like Dexter could have anyone.

Why would he want his curvy temporary assistant?

Then I discover what all that control has been hiding.

Dexter doesn't hate me.

He's obsessed with me.

He notices every time I cross my legs. Every man who talks to me. Every minute I'm away from my desk. He's been keeping his distance because getting closer is apparently the one temptation the famously controlled Dexter Holmes doesn't trust himself to survive.

And once I realize exactly how badly he wants me, I can't resist seeing how far I can push him.

The problem is, Dexter isn't interested in a temporary affair any more than he's interested in a temporary assistant.

He wants permanence.

My mornings. My nights. My things in his house. My entire life tangled up with his.

I walked into Holmes Robotics expecting a five-day assignment.

I never expected my grumpy boss to decide five days with me would never be enough.

My Grumpy Boss's Secret Obsession is an outrageously steamy, over-the-top instalove romance featuring a possessive CEO, his curvy temporary assistant, obsessive jealousy, explosive workplace chemistry, scorching heat, and a hero who falls so hard that forever is the only outcome he'll accept.
