Hudson Macklan has it all: a rock-hard body sculpted by genes and discipline, a sharp wit that has earned him a promising career, and a smile that could melt any heart. But the property lawyer’s greatest love is Dirty Diana. Who needs a cloying, suffocating girlfriend when you have an affectionate Chihuahua waiting for you at home?

Hudson’s charming life hits a speed bump when real estate agent, Ella Newsome, arrives in town. The locals are instantly charmed by her beaming smile and bouncing curls, but Hudson only sees one thing: his next conquest. After a painful break up, Ella is eager to shed her people-pleaser image and take control of her life. The last thing she needs is a playboy—even if he is the most beautiful man she’s ever seen.

If there’s one thing Hudson enjoys, it’s a challenge. But how far will he go to get what he wants? This is one game the playboy plans to win, but his gamble could come at a cost neither of them foresees.

Don’t ever tell your mother that your boss is your boyfriend.
Right in front of him.

Just don’t, trust me.

Hudson Stoll is the grumpiest grump I’ve ever met in my life. He’s never liked me much and calls me anything but my real name. His favorite rendition?
Opie.
My name is Liv, and because my mother is a grade-A pain in the ass who’s always complaining I can’t keep a man, I blurted out Hudson was my boyfriend just in time for my dad’s birthday party.
Didn’t come without consequences.
As payment for my brain-to-mouth malfunction, I’m now Hudson’s personal bitch for the next three months.
No, literally.
I go on coffee runs, order his food, and have to tackle mindless tasks around the parlor. I mow his lawn, trim the bushes, and wash his monstrous Harley. Oh, and let’s not forget listening to him complain about how I’m not doing something right and how I have a big mouth.

Pffft. Takes one to know one.

But throughout my temporary servitude, one thing becomes crystal clear—he’s interested in so much more than me simply getting the job done right. Hudson stares at me like he’s about to devour me in one bite, and I’m no one to judge him because, honestly, I’ve done it plenty of times myself. It’s hard not to when he’s a wall of muscles covered in tattoos.
Don’t even get me started on the beard.
We’re not supposed to act on our “relationship”, though…
It’s not real.
He’s not mine, I’m not his, yet he can’t seem to keep his hands to himself, and I have a problem saying no.

Don’t ever tell your mother that your boss is your boyfriend—because things can and probably will spiral out of control.

And I personally wasn’t ready for the hard fall I took when he found out about the daughter I kept a secret the whole time.
