Girl boss—Yay!! No time for dates, friends, or the occasional jog at the gym (by jog, I mean mall walking). My company is in need of help, and the best guy for the job is a single father that is far too handsome for anyone’s good. Between him laying down the law in the office and my mom nipping at my life choices, I am going insane! It’s time to put myself first—for once. No more loving me last. It’s my turn. His turn. For a red-hot love affair. Every good girl deserves a bad boy. ~ Weston
