Would Be King

All I want to do is get to work on time. But he’s trying to steal my cab, and that’s not going to happen. In the midst of the battle, I discover I don’t have my wallet. So I bargain—a free ride for a kiss. His lips taste like mint, and when he tugs me closer, I can feel the hard muscles beneath his expensive suit. The kiss ends just as we reach our destination, and I’m so taken aback by the explosiveness of it, I rush out without so much as a goodbye. I’m a hopeless romantic with no time for distractions. But fate, that bitch, has us pounding on the same locked door. Already knowing I’m going to be fired, I curse my new boss and his new rules. The hot suit laughs and dares me to tell my new boss what a dick he’s being. With nothing to lose, I accept. Never in a million years could I have imagined he is my new boss. Dating him is against the rules—his rules. Yet when he says let’s keep things casual, I dare him not to fall in love with me. And so it begins. But there’s a reason rules aren’t meant to be broken, and finding that out is the hardest thing I’ll ever do in life. My hot suit has a name: it’s Prince Maximus Montgomery. And this is our story.
