This Is a Kissing Book

I hate my boss. Never mind that he has major Clark Kent energy.

We’re not going to have a wild fling where we throw caution to the wind in a storage closet, then fall fast and hard on a sultry night while at a fancy resort during a business trip. I abide by all HR rules in the workplace, mostly.

I despise Linc and he abhors me. That’s the way it is and how it will always be.

End of story.

Except we have to interact every day because I’m now his personal research assistant as he tries to woo some obscure investor for the company. Probably lost a bet or something and got stuck with me. I don’t know much other than I’ve been reviewing scanned files and searching for handwritten letters.

It’s confusing.

So are the fluttery feelings when we stay late together after having a breakthrough. When I catch his gaze lingering on my legs—last I checked, they’re nothing special—he’s probably calculating the quickest way to push me out a window.

I’m the cheer to his blah. The cream to his black coffee. The tick to his tock. That’s to say there’s a sudden urgency as he drags me on a side quest, National Treasure style, and we’re crawling through ruins like Indiana Jones and Marion Ravenwood.

See? The guy hates me.

But then we almost die and before I realize it, his lips are on mine. And I like it. Apparently, he does too because it happens on repeat. The kiss, that is.

When I find out what he’s really looking for, I may have had him all wrong and start to wonder just how thin the line is between love and hate.
