~Synopsis~
New York Times bestselling author Monica Murphy concludes her sexy Billionaire Bachelors Club
series with a fiery romance that refuses to be left at the office…
Bryn James can’t take much more. Smart, sexy Matthew DeLuca is everything she wants in a man, but
he’s also her boss—the youngest, hottest vineyard owner in the Napa Valley—and he doesn’t see her
as anything more than his shy assistant. That’s all about to change. Armed with a hot new look and an
attitude to match, Bryn is determined to catch Matt’s eye… professionalism be damned.
With his winery’s grand reopening approaching, Matt is trying to stay focused, but Bryn is suddenly
making it very difficult. He’s always thought her prim demeanor effortlessly sexy, but Matt can’t deny
that her transformation is jaw-dropping …and going to make it very difficult to keep his hands to
himself.
But when one thing leads to another and suddenly Matt is stripping Bryn bare, he’ll be faced with the
biggest risk of his career—and his heart. Can he convince her—and himself—that this might just be
more than a no-strings office affair?
~EXCERPT~
“Don’t be so cranky. It’s
okay to admit you have a thing for Bryn.” Ivy leans forward in her chair, a
secretive smile curling her lips. “I have a feeling she has a thing for you
too, you know.” I do know. And I can’t act on it. Bryn James works for me. She’s
my assistant. She’s by my side constantly; we spend more time with each other
than probably anyone else in our lives, especially lately what with the
winery’s grand reopening approaching. She’s a representative of my business. If
I were to fuck around with the help and the relationship fell apart, I’d be in
huge trouble. She could screw me over financially every which way by suing me
for sexual harassment and I’d be left with a limp dick in my hand and a ruined
business. Yeah. Not going to take the chance. Saw it happen with my father. Not
going to let it happen to me. “It doesn’t matter. Nothing can happen.” I send
Ivy a stern look. “And this conversation can never leave this office.” Glancing
over her shoulder, I try to see if Bryn is at her desk but the chair is empty.
Thank Christ. Ivy’s expression goes solemn and she holds up three fingers.
“This conversation stays here. Scout’s honor.” “You were never a scout,” I
mutter, afraid she’s making a promise on an untruth. She’ll probably just blab
to everyone. Or specifically Archer and Gage. I don’t need to hear their shit.
And I am worrying way too much over this. She laughs again. “I won’t say a
word, I promise. But I need to tell you something, Matt.” She leans in close,
her voice dropping. “She’s got a major crush on you. You might not see it but
it’s there—sounding in her voice, shining in her eyes, every time she looks at
you, talks about you. The way her body turns into yours every time the two of
you are together . . . it’s pretty obvious. A body language expert would have a
field day with you two.” Body language expert? What the hell is Ivy talking
about? “I have no idea what you’re referring to, but office crushes are just
that. Crushes. Harmless attractions no one ever acts on. Period. End of story.”
This is what I keep telling myself. I can’t pursue anything with Bryn, no
matter how much I’m tempted to. Not only would it be wildly inappropriate,
dating my assistant, but we come from two different worlds. She seems nice and
normal, quiet and unobtrusive, and I am anything but. My life has been a circus
sideshow for years. “I get it. You’re trying to do the right thing, and I
admire that. So, of course you don’t see anything beyond an efficient assistant
in Miss James.” Well. Ivy’s not too far off the mark. When I first met Bryn,
she hardly said two words, kept her head bent when I spoke to her and offered
lots of yes-sir and no-sir answers. She had this way of almost blending
in with the walls, like she didn’t want anyone to notice her. So I didn’t. As
we got comfortable working together though, something happened. I’m thinking
Ivy had a hand in Bryn’s slow transformation. She actually makes eye contact
when she speaks to me, and she’s become somewhat animated. Started to wear
bolder colors as well, drawing my attention to her chest though I keep my eyes
averted as best I can. These subtle changes made me notice all of the little things—like
the color of her eyes (blue), how her hair looks (like silk and I want to touch
it), and the tempting fullness of her lips (they’re spectacular). Her gaze
lingers when she looks at me and sometimes so does mine. Her smile softens, her
voice drops lower when she speaks, sparking my imagination. Would she sound
like that right before I kissed her? Took off her clothes? Took her to my bed?
Yeah. All of those are dangerous thoughts. I almost prefer the old Miss James.
The one who was like the wallpaper—boring and nondescript. Mean to say, but
hell, the last thing I need is a distraction. And she’s become the biggest
distraction I’m currently facing. The very last one I need.
