Publisher Description
From USA Today and Amazon Charts best-selling author Meghan Quinn, and narrated by Teddy Hamilton and Vanessa Edwin, comes a new stand-alone age-gap rom-com featuring a new cast of characters that will immediately have you hooked. This steamy, laugh-out-loud enemies-to-lovers small-town romance delivers the perfect happily ever after every romance lover craves.
Why am I holding a box of stolen memorabilia in my arms? It's called...revenge.
After failing my last semester of grad school, I decided to come back to my hometown and wallow in my boyfriend’s sympathetic arms. Instead, he proceeded to dump me...for being boring!
Now, I'm not typically a spiteful person, but there's only so much I can take. Hence why I’m holding the box of his most cherished possessions...stolen possessions no less!
The plan? To give the box back to its rightful owner and rat my ex out. How’s that for being boring?
But plans never go the way you want them, because instead of dropping off the box with a note, I’m pinned with the crime by the true owner of the box himself.
Hayes Farrow is grumpy, arrogant, and stupidly hot in a way that makes it hard to even look him in the eye. Not to mention he’s my brother’s nemesis so I fully intended to stay far far away from the gorgeous jerk.
But to add insult to the injury that has become my life as of late, Hayes gives me two options: Turn me into the police and press full charges...or work it off. How could I possibly work for someone I can't stand? Easy, I don't look good in orange.
But working for Hayes isn't as horrible as I thought it would be. The way I hate him begins to turn into something else—something I never thought I'd feel. But the way my brother reacts when he finds out I’m working for his enemy? He’d prefer me in prison orange.

Wonderful Story & Narration🎧 Hilarious & Emotional!
Meghan Quinn does it again, and pens another winner of a novel, a standalone enemies-to-lovers romantic comedy that takes you on an emotional rollercoaster ride like no other. I experienced every emotion while listening to this book, the witty dialogue and hilarious laugh out loud scenes are plentiful, but there are some scenes that are so moving they bring a tear to your eye. The story grabbed my attention right from the start and captivated it the entire book. Nothing else mattered except what was going to happen next with the two lead characters, Hattie Rowley and Hayes Farrow. There are some amazing secondary/side characters and I am hoping they will get their own books too. Hattie has not had the best of years, after struggling and failing her classes in grad school she went back home to regroup, only to get dumped by her boyfriend. While packing her things, she saw her boyfriend had a box of his bosses belongings, so she took that box to return the items and hopefully get him fired. Little did she know Hayes had already fired him. And since he needs a new assistant, he hires Hattie, not that she wanted the job, but the way he put it she had no other choice. Hayes and Hattie’s brother were good friends until they had a fallout, Hattie was young at the time and did not know the details, she only knows he is the enemy and now she had to be creative in what she told her brother and sister, not only about why she came home but who she was working for. The chemistry between these two was undeniable, though Hayes would not cross a line with her, but they could only deny each other for so long. I loved how everything played out in the book, each had their own issues to deal with and work out, but I thought they were perfect together and for each other. Hayes hides behind a hardened facade, afraid to put himself out there, but he gets some wise words from an unexpected ally that opens his eyes and breaks down the walls surrounding his heart. There is never a dull moment in this book, the writing and plotting is fantastic, the witty dialogue is absolutely brilliant, and the romance is steamy. Meghan Quinn, thank you for another entertaining and amazing story.
🎧📚🎧 And for the amazing narration, Meghan Quinn cast the perfect narrators to bring her characters and story to life. Vanessa Edwin and Teddy Hamilton were fabulous portraying these characters, giving each a voice that was fitting to their personality and demeanor. Hamilton played Hayes with perfection, a broody rockstar, and Edwin nailed it as Hattie, grasping all sides of her personality, from her fierceness to her vulnerabilities. Both were naturals at handling the witty and back-and-forth dialogue, landing the humor effortlessly and with ease. They were fantastic performing the roles of the secondary characters too. You could hear how much heart they put into their work as they captured all the character’s emotions and had you feeling them all. These entertaining storytellers are a pleasure to listen to and their narration enhanced an already brilliant story to another level. Thank you for another exceptional listen.
