Cherry Picker

Bill

At the end of a long business conference, I'm eager to get home to my daughter. But a snowstorm strands me in Chicago for the night with my assistant Tate Cherry.

He's very cute and very off-limits, no matter how much he's flirting with me tonight. My willpower is put to the test though, when we're forced to share a hotel room.

Even more so when he makes me an offer I'm unable to refuse.

Tate

After two years of working under Bill Crandell, and fantasizing about being under him in other ways, fate is shining down on me. Tonight will finally be the night we consummate the unnerving tension crackling between us.

It's my last shot with Bill. I can't screw it up and develop real feelings for my boss. Not tonight.

Cherry Picker is a prequel novella to my series The Comebacks, but can be read on its own. Note: This story is also available to my newsletter subscribers, but if newsletters aren't your thing, you're welcome to read it here.
