Grayson Brooks. Technically, my boss. And Altman Advertising's resident playboy. He’s infuriatingly charming, dangerously dominant, and the only man who makes my carefully constructed professional facade melt into a puddle. My safest bet is to ignore him. Focus on the work. Keep my distance. Simple, right? But Grayson doesn’t do simple. He’s freaking everywhere—his low, commanding voice in meetings, the sharp edge of his smirk when I push back, the intoxicating scent he leaves behind like a dare.
