After a messy divorce ends her seven-year marriage, Angelina decides love is officially a scam—and she wants nothing to do with it ever again. One reckless night at a bar, fueled by heartbreak and too much alcohol, she slaps a stranger who tries to talk to her and storms out without a second thought. Embarrassing? Yes. Forgettable? She hopes so. Until weeks later… when she walks into a new job interview and realizes the stranger she assaulted is none other than her new boss. Stephen. Cold, intimidating, and strangely interested in making her life difficult. What Angelina doesn’t know is that Stephen has known her for years… far longer than she could ever imagine. And now that fate has placed her right in front of him— He has no intention of letting her go.
