I should have destroyed her. Instead, I hired her. People call me a grump. A prick. A pretty face with a cold, cruel heart. None of which bothers me in the slightest. As the most powerful real estate developer in this city, my world is black and white. But Ella Veers is the smear of color I never asked for, and never saw coming. I’m a classical concerto, she’s a punk-rock anthem. Blue hair, ripped tights, and a sassy brat attitude that gets under my skin and stays there. When I hire the tempting little vandal to paint my conference room, I tell myself it’s to sideline her vendetta against my new development. But the truth is, it’s because I crave her—her, and her submission. Ella might be a thorn in my side. But all, as they say, is fair in love and war. And I play to win, always. She was supposed to be my enemy. Instead, she just might be my undoing. Grumpaholic is a standalone grumpy/sunshine boss romance with a smart, untamable heroine and an ultra possessive hero. No cliffhanger; HEA included.
