Description

My secret workplace romance starts innocently enough… at a birthday party.

But when a rowdy partier knocks me into a lake and a sexy stranger comes to my rescue — my night becomes one to remember.

A night so steamy I almost forget why I’ve sworn off men after a failed office romance.

But I’m focusing on my shiny new future — my dog-training business is suddenly the hottest thing in town, thanks to a new actress client.

Trouble is, the brand new doggy daycare in Darling Springs that I’ve contracted with… is owned by none other than my sexy stranger. Thanks, fate.

Sawyer turns out to be a total grump in a tailored suit, no matter how sunshine-y I am. Even when he squeezes that hard body past me as I bring donuts to work. Or when he pretends he’s not roaming his dark eyes over me as I teach Fido to sit, stay and come.

But when I need a dance partner for the town fundraiser that my client’s roped me into, I sense an opportunity. And, it turns out Mr. Serious Boss is up for dance lessons.

Then the entire Dirty Dancing experience unfolds.

Giving in to our chemistry once won’t hurt. Two might be pushing it. By the seventh, it’s undeniable — I’ve got a crush on him too.

Tropes: Workplace romance, oops my one-night-stand is my new co-worker, small town rom com, forbidden romance, grumpy/sunshine, forced proximity, fighting the feelings, quirky side characters, swoony learning-to-dance scenes
