The Penthouse Grump

It’s an HR nightmare.

Running late is my cardio, but I didn’t expect my morning workout to include baptizing a stranger with a venti latte. He was rude, he was growly, and unfortunately, he was gorgeous. I thought I’d seen the last of him until I stepped into the elevator that evening—and saw him hit the button for the penthouse. Just my luck. But the real nightmare began Monday morning when I walked into the boardroom at The Mercer Group. That grumpy penthouse resident? He’s Gabriel Mercer. My boss’s boss’s boss. I should be worried about getting fired, but the way he stares at me across the conference table doesn’t feel like termination. It feels like trouble.

I don’t do distractions. I run a billion-dollar empire and I live a disciplined life—until a chaotic woman in a gray business suit soaked my favorite shirt in coffee. I should have been furious. Instead, I haven’t slept a wink since, because she’s the only thing haunting my dreams. When I find out she works for me, the game changes. She thinks I’m going to fire her for the spill. She’s wrong. I’m going to make sure she never runs away from me again. Alice Stone belongs with me, and I’m ready to break every HR rule in the book to prove it.

Nestled in the heart of charming Worthington Hills, this quaint apartment building is more than just brick and mortar—it’s a hotbed of budding romances and steamy encounters.

So pull up a chair, order your favorite latte, and get ready to fall head over heels for the lovable residents of #1 Love Place. In this building, love isn’t just knocking on doors—it’s kicking them down!
