There’s a thin line between love and hate . . . and it
cuts right through the middle of their office.
Bad boys? They run
right over good girls like Georgina Keller.
But after a
confidence-shattering breakup, she’s determined not to let anyone at her new
workplace push her around—least of all the brooding creative director, a “bad
boy of publishing” who’s made it clear she’s enemy #1.
Sebastian Quinn's
taste for fast cars, late nights, and beautiful women may have gotten him to
the top of a leading New York magazine, but the reputation that made him is
suddenly threatening to end his career.
Georgina can
help Modern Man shed its bad reputation, but in order to do
that, she’ll have to start at the top—and no amount of rakish charm or
inconvenient attraction will distract her.
Because if Sebastian
gets her right where he wants her, it means she’s going down.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
5 Stuff-of-dreams stars!
What an amazing, sexy and heartfelt read!
"She was small but mighty, ambitious but not malicious, and feisty with a streak of sweet."
Troubleshooter, Georgina Keller, is fully armed and prepared for her first day joining the male-dominated creative team at lifestyle magazine, Modern Man. What she's not prepared for is Sebastian Quinn's panty-dropping good looks and resentful hostility. Renowned for his bad boy ways and sexist bias, she's unprepared for her attraction to him and she has to dig deep to put aside her natural doormat tendencies to be the strong, professional business woman that she is. However, the more she gets to know him, the more she realises that there's more to him than meets the eye.
"Was Sebastian more than the image he projected, or was he an actual bad boy to handle with caution?"
Modern Man is Sebastian's life's work. He IS Modern Man. Knowing his job is possibly on the line, he begrudgingly works alongside Georgina. Unfortunately, his pesky attraction to her is something else entirely, and he finds himself becoming totally beguiled by her and her kind, sweet ways. And, don't even get him started on her endless physical attributes.
"You have all these little f*cking freckles...It's like someone sprinkled you with cinnamon to serve you up as breakfast."
Absolutely loved this story! The chemistry between Sebastian and Georgina was electric and tense. Sebastian was just so hungry for her! His can't help but be fascinated by the dichotomy that is Georgina Keller. On one hand, she's meek and sweet, and on the other, she's something of a ballbuster. Sebastian, himself, is not quite what he portrays, and I loved watching Georgina unravelling him and his vulnerabilities.
Fabulous, hot, and heartfelt! Another winner from this author.

Excerpt
At the stadium’s
concession stand, I took a tall stool, putting Georgina and I at eye level
since she stood. “So, why didn’t you kiss François?” I asked. “Bad breath?”
She gasped
into her hand. “My breath is fine.”
“I meant
his. I’m sure yours is pure relish on a hotdog.”
She made a
face. “Gross.”
“I happen
to love relish,” I said. “But does François?”
Each time I
said François with flourish, she
flinched. I didn’t care. Something about him bugged me—I just couldn’t put my
finger on it.
“We didn’t
kiss because you interrupted us,” she pointed out.
“So? If I
were in his position, and we both wanted that kiss, I wouldn’t let anyone stop
me.”
“Frank and I are clicking,” she said,
scowling. “There was even mention of spending time at his summerhouse.”
“Hamptons?”
She coughed
into her fist. “Boca Raton.”
The idea of
Georgina spending a summer with him in Boca Raton was tragic enough that I
almost smiled. I got the sense she was playing up the date. If it was so great,
why wasn’t she sitting here with him? And why was I more relieved than smug
about that? “Meanwhile, Justin and I will be clamming in Montauk.”
“You two
should really just make it official and announce your love to the world.”
“But then I
wouldn’t get to flirt with pretty girls.”
“For
someone who pretends to have as much game as you,” she said, “I still haven’t
seen you successfully flirt with any
girls since I’ve known you.”
I smirked.
“How do you know I’m not flirting with you right now?”
