Bookstore owner Aubrey Barnes likes his quiet, orderly London life, thank you very much. His shop may be struggling, his only employee is a menace, and his plumbing is one creaky pipe away from disaster, but he can handle it. Maybe. He cannot, however, handle the film company that’s thrown his Soho street into chaos. And he definitely can’t handle the charismatic American actor Blake Sinclair. Which is why he’s extremely reluctant to lease out his shop as a set for Blake's film, but it’s his one opportunity to save his business. Now he can’t get away from the distractingly hot actor. Then Aubrey finds himself alone with Blake in a trailer, and what happens next turns London’s heat wave into an inferno that leaves him breathless.Aubrey is not cut out for the high-profile life of dating a celebrity, especially an American actor who’s not even out yet. Good thing their tryst is absolutely not going anywhere. Of course, when you expect nothing, that’s exactly when it starts to mean everything.

Tall, tailored, and allergic to emotional availability. Also the guy who vanished the morning after our very memorable night like he was fleeing the scene of a crime.Now he’s imploding online after mouthing off about Scarlett Rush (yes, that Scarlett Rush—the pop star with a fandom that could topple governments). His company’s bleeding money, the board’s in full panic mode, and someone has decided the only person who can clean up his mess is…Me.I’m a crisis PR strategist. I fix disasters for a living. I do not fix the walking, talking disaster in a suit who left me on read in real life.But Harrison wants me in his orbit—meetings, damage control, and way too many hours trapped on private flights where “professional distance” becomes a hilarious joke. He’s all sharp suits and sharper comments, and every time he says my name like that, I forget I’m supposed to be mad.I’m here to save his reputation.I am not here to fall for my boss.I am definitely not here to remember exactly how his mouth feels.And yet.Because the more I work for Harrison Ashford, the more I suspect there’s a reason he disappeared.And if I’m not careful, the next scandal won’t be his.It’ll be ours.
