My new assistant is all smiles and sunshine—and she’s about to set fire to my cold, grumpy heart.

I’ve moved to this god-forsaken small town to run the family business.
I need to hire a new PA and the pickings are slim.
Some say my irrational expectations are the reason I’ve gone through assistants quicker than most people refill their coffee.
Incompetence is my pet peeve.
If that makes me irrational, so be it.
Then Georgia Reynolds walks into my office.
Blonde hair.
Sapphire eyes.
And a smart mouth that irritates me as much as it turns me on.
On top of being a rockstar at her job, she is a ray of freaking sunshine on steroids.
I have no patience for it.
Nor for the way she flutters around the office like a modern-day Tinkerbell.
She has ridiculous taste in music.
Drives an unreasonable form of transportation.
And did I mention that I caught her dancing in my closet when I sent her on a simple errand?
My new assistant has somehow become my kryptonite.
But I am her boss, and I am not going to be a pathetic cliché.
It doesn’t matter that my cold, jaded heart has started beating again.
In my world, a beating heart makes you weak.
And I do not tolerate weaknesses.

Out of the Reynolds, Georgia is the youngest and has the biggest and kindest heart you can find and is a complete smartass. Maddox is a grump but you can see what led to him being that way and being known as moody and cold. The banter and chemistry that Georgia and Maddox have is extraordinary. Georgia applies for a job at the publishing company that had just moved into town. Maddox is the CEO of the company and Georgia got a job as the Assistant. As they work together they start to grow closer and can’t stay away from one another they start as friends but their connection is too strong and they give in to their feelings and have some spicy moments. After reading this I love Cotton Cove and want to go for a visit and meet everyone. Laura is one of my favourite authors and I’m excited to see what other emotional books she has up her sleeve.
