Publisher's summary

Billionaire. Single dad. My new nightmare boss.

Holland Alistair is the gorgeous computer prodigy who took the real estate game by storm.

Arrogant. Surly. Eyes of steel.

He meets me on the worst day of my life and gets his fern kicked. Literally.

I’m sure I’m getting sued. Instead, I get a job offer.

Turns out, managing Alistair’s schedule—and temper—is actually his revenge.

In the office, his eyes follow me everywhere. Is he going to fire me or devour me?

I can’t decide what I want either. I plan his death on my off-time. I kiss him senseless in my dreams.

Hate and want. Push and pull. All we do is tiptoe around what’s between us.

Until one chance meeting with his adorable daughter changes everything.

Suddenly, I’m seeing the softer side of Alistair.

But falling for him wasn’t in my job description. And neither is stealing kisses in the office stairwell.

Can I keep my head on my shoulders when the office grump sets his sights on me? And what will happen if news of our forbidden romance gets out?

Enjoy fierce, determined heroines and flawed, alpha heroes with kids? Then dive in! Every book in the Billionaire Dads series is BWWM and can be enjoyed as a standalone. No cheating, no cliffhangers, and, of course, a guaranteed HEA!

Family isn’t always blood

I enjoyed Kenya and Holland’s love story. I didn’t know it was closed door. No steaminess. I loathed Kenya’s family. It was also said Sasha didn’t learn her lesson. I loved Kenya’s best friend Sunny. She kept me laughing. Little Belle was too cute also.

Almost unlikable, but, Henley turned the corner

Kenya was almost too strong… It took forever to see a tad of softness in her. But when it did come through, it turned out to be a very cute story.

Good Story

I really enjoyed this story. I have a couple of items to point out, however. Sasha’s selfishness was over the top and yes there were times I wish our MC was a little less hostile, but she’s a great three dimensional character. Why the fade to black love scene. It didn’t need to be graphic at all but that left a void.
