If you’d told Allison Sinclair that her week would end with her dignity in shambles and her life in free fall, she would’ve laughed. Instead, she walks in on her three year boyfriend in bed with her best friend. As if that wasn’t humiliating enough, an argument with said exes ends with Allison tumbling down the stairs, bruised and officially done with the universe. And then comes here only glimmer of hope? A job interview. Her only problem? She can’t stop thinking about her ridiculously attractive supposed new boss. Gabriel Lockwood is calm, commanding, and unsettling in the way men usually aren’t. Allison tells herself it’s just nerves until she watches him cut a man’s hand for daring to touch her. Suddenly, the job feels less like a fresh start and more like a warning sign wrapped in a very handsome suit. Now Allison is stuck between healing, a thorn of an ex, a —too into my business — mother and a man who makes danger look like safety and obsession feel like protection.
