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.

Great audio

Loved this audiobook.
Kenya and Holland took a while to get it together but it was worth the wait. Sasha and her mother is a piece of work, I'm just glad Kenya had such a great friend to fall back on and than Holland. Glad she made her own family.

Great story but Kenya didn't deserve the treatment

This was a great story but Kenya was mistreated so very wrong by her family members. Even her biological father, at least she had a very good friend that stood by her side. You can tell this was a story that was fictional because I wouldn't have shown not one once of kindness towards my evil ass backstabbing step sister. I wouldn't have given them nothing and Nia you made her look like a total fool going to the baby shower and dancing like some clown and giving them money. In the real world before that snake ass little Ish got pregnant she would have gotten a big sister beat down. As for the evil step mom we not even going there. I actually cried for Kenya because I know how it feels to be betrayed by family members but you didn't Nia give her not any backbone towards her family not enough 😔 💔 😢. She deserved so much more and yeah she got her man in the end but you should have changed that whole ending. PERIOD
