Synopsis

A new, sexy standalone from #1 New York Times Bestseller, Vi Keeland. He lives by a set of rules. She might be his one exception. I just wanted a distraction, something to take the edge off before facing a wedding I was dreading. So on the flight back to New York, I signed up for a dating app. Harmless enough, right? Wrong. Turns out, it wasn't just any app-it catered to people with very specific tastes. By the time I realized it, I was already on my date. Tall, confident, and sinfully handsome, Jagger Langston seemed like the full package. The chemistry between us was instant-electric enough to burn the whole city down. Though things took a turn when we figured out I'd misunderstood who should join the app. We laughed it off, said goodbye, and went our separate ways. Or so I thought. Until I walked into my new internship Monday morning, ready to put the weekend behind me, and there he was-my boss. Now I'm caught between the rules he lives by-and the temptation to make him break every single one of them.
