Rule number Don't fall for your boss. He forgot to give himself the same rule. Vaughn Sterling is cold. Demanding. The kind of billionaire who fires people for smiling too much. I took the job as his assistant because I needed the money. I stayed because I'm a masochist. Then I catch him watching me like I'm a problem he needs to solve. Like I'm something he wants to devour. He's crossed every professional learning my coffee order, memorizing my schedule, sending a driver when I miss the train. When I try to quit, he tells me I'm not allowed. Not allowed. Like he owns me. The terrifying part? I'm starting to want him to. Tropes: billionaire boss × innocent assistant • obsessive possessive • he's cold to everyone except her • power imbalance • grumpy/sunshine
