Falling for your boss—no matter how fast he makes your
pulse race—is such a cliché. But it’s one Annabelle Shay
can’t seem to avoid. Gallery owner Louis Dumont is stupid
hot. Plus, he’s sweet, sensitive and a brilliant artist.
But he’s also oblivious. Which is good because Annabelle
loves her job too much to risk it.

Louis hasn’t been with a woman since he was wounded in
Afghanistan, remaining guarded about his body and his
heart. But Annabelle is different. She keeps him
grounded. Which is why protecting her—first pretending to
be her husband to ward off unwanted attention, then
inviting her to move in after her landlord kicks her out—
feels so natural, even if it invites rampant temptation.

Try as Annabelle might, there are some desires you simply
can’t shake. Louis repeatedly joke-asking her to marry
him isn’t helping, especially when their unbearable
attraction upgrades them to roomies with benefits. But
Louis is still keeping pieces of his past to himself,
leaving Annabelle to wonder if he’ll ever truly be
vulnerable with her—or if she stands to lose everything.
