Instead, I’m staying in a holiday-obsessed small town sharing a B and B with the last person I expected—my impossibly attractive, perfectionist boss. Same breakfast buffet. Same living room. Same crackling fire. My dream of a relaxing getaway is officially shot to hell. Awkward doesn’t begin to cover it.

I’m well aware of my horrible track record of falling for the wrong guy. But what if the wrong guy turns into the perfect guy despite being my off-limits boss? If we don’t stop now, this can’t end well. Or can it?
