Blurb:

She’s nothing he wants. And everything he needs.

Preston: I’m Mr. Serious, the guy they call “all work and no play.” So of course my grandfather’s sadistic will has put me in charge of fun at the family’s wedding resort. I have just a few weeks to come up with an all-ages activities program for the resort’s guests—or lose my family’s land forever. Meanwhile, the clock’s ticking at my finance firm, where I’m up for a huge promotion—if I can prove I’m a team player.

Worse, I have to work with the reigning queen of fun, Natalie Archer. If there’s a party, Natalie’s there, and she’s the one dancing on the tables. She doesn’t think much of my suits, ties, cufflinks, and spreadsheets, and I don’t think much of her fun-first–safety-last attitude. But for some reason, I can’t stop thinking about her gorgeous curves, wild curly hair, or sparkling smile. I’m a man who values self-control—and I’m running low.

Natalie launches Operation Fun to help me loosen up and win the promotion I’ve been chasing. Now we’re spending days and nights together—and learning that some activities are a lot of fun for both of us. But as our deadline approaches and our collaboration heats up, Natalie and I find ourselves asking a big question: Opposites may attract, but can they live happily ever after?

A spicy, grumpy-sunshine, fish-out-of-water, billionaire, opposites attract, workplace relationship standalone romantic comedy set in the beloved small town of Rush Creek.

Excerpt: 

“Try Everything” by Shakira comes on. This song always makes me want to dance. It’s my girl-power anthem, for when I’m feeling like I need a lift. 

Time for a pump up. 

I wiggle my hips. Do a little shimmy, setting the girls in motion. For better or for worse, and it depends on the day, my bra size delves deep into the alphabet, so there is plenty of motion. I grab the tall floor lamp and execute a pole maneuver. Okay, so floor lamps aren’t intended for pole dancing, but I’ll make it work. 

Whew. I’m already sweating. I was in pretty good shape when I was working at the nursing home. I always took the stairs, never the elevator, and did a lot of active stuff with the residents. But since then, I’ve been spending too much time sitting at a desk combing through job listings and tweaking my resume to try to get results. I shed my socks, and then—okay, what the hell, I’m wearing a bra—tunic, too. Now I’m in just cropped black leggings and my favorite bra—black, plenty of support, but also loads of lace and frills.

I’m starting to feel more like myself.  

I decide maybe I need my favorite party shoes. Hot-pink, spike-heeled, closed-toe sandals. They look great with tight, ankle-length jeans, but for now, they’ll be fine with leggings.

YES. 

I close the two tiny clasps and admire the strappy pink result. 

Walk the Moon’s “Work This Body” comes on, and perfect. 

My hairbrush is a microphone, the lamp’s my pole, this room is my court where I will beat whoever it is fair and square (Lloyd) and—

Damn. The ache is back. 

Desperate times call for desperate measures. I turn the music up one more notch. I eye the desk. 

It looks pretty sturdy. 

I use the ottoman as a step, and—

Now I’m not in my room. Instead, I’m dancing on a bar in my spiky hot-pink heels. Mirror behind me. 

I have my earbuds jammed in and my eyes closed, which is why it takes me a while to notice that— 

Preston Hott is standing in the door of my room. 

He’s carved out of long, lean, well-proportioned muscle, which is more obvious now because he’s taken off his suit jacket and draped it over the suitcase behind him, and his hand is frozen on one partially rolled sleeve. My eyes are drawn there tractor-beam style because that is quite possibly the best forearm I have ever seen. His tie is loose now, his hair rumpled—and holy shit, if he looked good buttoned up, he looks even better now. 

Except I know he’s the devil. 

Plus he’s caught me dancing on a hotel desk. And as previously noted, there’s lots of me on display. Not to mention the spiky heels, the high drama lip syncing, the general bouncing, and all the fuck you I’m powerful gestures aimed at Lloyd.

Plus, mirror behind me, so: double view.  

My cheeks go red hot. 

Okay. Two options here. 

Die of embarrassment, or… 

Try my damnedest to play it cool.  

I jam the pause button, tip an earbud out, and slide myself down from the bar—desk—with as much dignity as I can muster.

“I guess you’re not room service,” I say.
