What happens when a jilted groom becomes the boss of a runaway bride?A match made in hell. LOGAN Arrogant, cold, heartless-these are the things people say about me. I wasn't always like this. There was a time I had it all, or so I thought. My wedding day was supposed to be the start of a new chapter: a new wife and a beautiful baby. Thank God I uncovered the truth just in time-my fiancée wasn't pregnant. The engagement was a charade and the supposed pregnancy a ploy to exploit my fame and fortune. Distracting myself with work is a piece of cake, but finding an assistant who can handle my grumpy demeanor? Now there's a challenge. From the moment she barged into my office, I knew she was trouble. Flighty and feisty, she's upending my carefully crafted image of a grumpy boss one sarcastic remark at a time. Last time I trusted a woman, I got burned. There won't be a next time. I'm almost certain of it. LAYLA When I uncovered my fiancé's dirty little secret, I fled, leaving him standing at the altar like a sad little penguin. As a desperate bride on the run, I'm forced to take the job no one in their right mind wants: assistant to the ego-inflated, billionaire owner of a luxurious resort. Logan Blingwood-his name alone sends shivers down the spines of his employees. He's infuriatingly arrogant, and glaring at me is his new favorite pastime. But beneath his grumpy façade and rock-solid chest, there's a flicker of vulnerability and a (nearly indiscernible) thump of a beating heart. His own heartbreaking story nearly destroyed him. I can't risk him discovering I left my fiancé at the altar, he'll hate me even more and I'll lose my job, my housing, and my career. Keeping my runaway bride status secret will be hard-but keeping my hands off the "bosshole" will be harder.
