About book #1

Courtney
I’m just so exhausted—always living on the edge of desperation, one paycheck away from ruin. But this new job… It could be the fresh start I need. It could change everything. The contract is only for three months, but if I keep my head down, work hard, and prove myself, maybe I could stay longer. Maybe I could make Black Mountain Lodge my home. read more

COMEDY ROMANCE & these sounds like soooo much fun. Plus, book #4 (Grumpy Boss of the Year (The Annoying Hot Bosses Club Book 4)) JUST WENT LIVE!!

About book #1

Dear Grumpy Horrible Boss,

You suck as a lawyer. I don’t even know how you passed the bar. Or how you sleep at night taking clients like Jack Whittington.

Just in case you didn’t know, you can’t fire me just because I have a part-time job working bachelor parties. What I do on the weekend is none of your business and not a part of my employment contract. If I want to go back to wearing coconut bikinis and popping out of cakes, I can. read more

Reader Question – The book about the woman that sought refuge at the grumpy rancher’s home…

By Leave a Comment

Sarah needs our book help! Oooooh I think I read this one!!! I’ve read a couple like this years ago ’cause I’m always a sucker of a disgruntled, grumpy Hero.

She asks:

Hey Maryse,

I’m trying to find a book I read a few years ago, but I can’t remember the title.

From what I recall, it was about a woman who sought refuge at the hero’s house but I am not sure about this part. I think he was either a cowboy or a rancher, or maybe the story was set in a small town—I’m not entirely sure. read more
