I’m your average girl—well, *was*—who spends most of her days buried in CEO romance novels. Yeah, I know, *so cliche*, right? But hey, we all have our guilty pleasures. So, what about work, you ask? Well, my job made it easy to read the day away as long as I got my tasks done by the end of the day. Sounds perfect, right? Simple, right?

Well, that's because I was a librarian. *Past tense.*
Why? Because some arrogant, narcissistic jerk gets me fired. Why? Apparently, I didn’t notice him walking up to the counter because I was too busy getting lost in my latest book. Now, you’d think any *normal* person would just tap me on the shoulder and say, “Excuse me.” But no, this guy *decides* to get me fired. Rude? Oh, you bet.

But that’s not even the worst part. Oh, no. The real problem started when I decided to get my revenge. That’s when I got tangled up with him… in more ways than one. Now, not only am I working for this narcissistic jerk, but I’m doing it undercover. Why? Because apparently, he has an issue with women working for him... especially when things get *too close* in the sheets. (Yeah, you *get* where this is going.)

So, I’m pretending to be a man. Why? Because I need the job. It’s high-paying, and it’s my ticket out of my miserable, *pathetic* life. I mean, revenge is great and all, but I’ve got bills to pay. Money’s my new love, and there’s no way I’m letting some petty rivalry get in the way of it.

The tricky part? Balancing my need for cash with the fear of being exposed. I’ve got two huge secrets: one, I’m the woman who shared the sheets with him. And two? I’m a woman, disguised as a man, and praying every day that my cover doesn’t blow. One wrong move, and my entire life—my job, my reputation, my *revenge*—could come crashing down. So, yeah, no pressure.

But hey, what’s life without a little drama, right? Right."

The first thing I did when I got home was scream to Lucy about how my stupid, narcissistic, tyrannical boss had officially made me consider murder at least a hundred times today. I mean, a hundred times. And trust me, a hundred is being generous. The best fantasy I had was poisoning his food — because, really, if there's anyone who deserves it, it's him. The man's so picky it's a miracle he eats at all. Just because he's rich, he acts like the world revolves around his expensive taste buds. 


Honestly, that bastard is turning me into a psychopath. One day with him, and I'm already losing my mind. What will I be by the third day? A full-blown criminal? Just one day working for him, and I'm already questioning my sanity. What will I become by day three? A serial killer in a tie? Because I swear, the urge to strangle him increases by the hour.
