Fresh off a plane from France, I was ready for a little reprieve.
After a wild night and a few too many drinks, I ended up in a hotel room with a complete stranger.
I didn’t think I’d ever see him again—boy, was I wrong.
Two days later, he walks into my dad’s office.
He was looking for the man in charge.
Instead, he found me—the boss’s daughter.
A few sly remarks about my family had me all too skeptical about revealing my identity.
It’s a good thing I held back,
because it seems he’s got an opinion about the Big Wig’s daughter, too.
Stuck-up.
High-strung.
Demanding.
So, I let him believe I was an employee, too.
A measly assistant with the curiosity of a cat.
At least, that’s what he thought.
Now I can find out why he’s painted this dark picture of my family.
And it’s time to show him that I’m more than a name in the rumor mill.
That’s all assuming I’m not exposed first.
Ruthless Rookie is a workplace romance inspired by Mister Moneybags.
REVIEW
Mira has returned from an extended stay abroad to help with the launch of a new product at her family’s company. After leaving under a heavy curtain of shame, she’s determined to prove herself useful this time around. However, a man she meets on her first night back has her rethinking her strategy.
Sawyer is running from his past. A one night stand turns into something he’s not ready to fully describe, but he’s finding that he is more settled and at peace. But can he fully move on from the pain of his past? And can he trust his feelings for his one-night-stand-turned-workmate?
This book is a very quick read with an engaging plot that hooks you from the start. The story is pretty substantial, however. Did I think the resolution was a bit rushed? Yes, but I still enjoyed the read. I found myself wanting more of the story at the end.
I recommend this read.
I voluntarily read & reviewed an ARC of this book.
Rachel Leigh lives in West Michigan with her husband and their three kids. Coffee is her guilty pleasure, along with strong alpha romance heroes. Writing and reading are her passion. She overuses emojis and lol, and finds talking about herself in the third person to be somewhat awkward.
