By a Thread: the must-read workplace romantic comedy from the bestselling author of Things We Never Got Over
Lucy Score
USA, Modern & contemporary fiction (post c 1945), Adult & contemporary romance
A steamy, swoony workplace romantic comedy with a grumpy boss hero determined to save the day and a plucky heroine who is starting to wonder if there might actually be a beating heart just beneath her boss's sexy vests.
From Sunday Times and #1 New York Times bestselling author of Things We Never Got Over
Dominic:
I got her fired.
Okay, so I'd had a bad day, but there's nothing innocent about Ally Morales. Maybe her colourful, annoying, inexplicably alluring personality brightens up the magazine's offices that have felt like a prison for the past year. Maybe I like that she argues with me in front of the editorial staff. And maybe my after-hours fantasies are haunted by her brown eyes and sharp tongue.
She's working herself to death at half a dozen dead-end jobs for some secret reason. And I'm going to fix it all. Don't accuse me of caring. She's nothing more than a puzzle to be solved. If I can get her to quit, I can finally peel away all those layers. Then I can go back to salvaging the family name and forget all about the dancing, beer-slinging brunette.
Ally:
Ha. Hold my beer, Grumpy Grump Face.
