How Did I—A Grumpy Billionaire—End Up Falling For My Employee 

I’ve built my life on control—money, power, distance. Feelings are liabilities. Attachments are mistakes. That belief made me a billionaire. 

Then my aunt died and forced me into her Rosewood Bookstore—and the guardianship of a five-year-old girl. 

Rosewood is supposed to be temporary. Fix the mess. Leave. 

Grace Harper, the employee running the shop, hates everything i represent. 

We clash constantly.  

But then I start noticing the way she pushes me—and the way I let her. 
The way the tension shifts into something dangerous. 
The way she looks at me like staying is a choice. 
Somewhere between late nights and stolen moments, I fall hard. 
And then the kiss rewrites every rule I lived by. 

Then the offer came in. I can sell the bookstore for a tidy sum, but then Grace will lose her job, the town will lose a bookstore they love & Lucy will lose her home and hate me forever
