In the story of love, sometimes the best plot twist is the office flirt you didn’t see coming…

I never thought I’d end up falling for the last guy in the world I should want—Connor Bryant, the resident office ladies’ man. I’m the quirky Pride & Prejudice-loving editor with a passion for big words and a wardrobe that screams “world’s least sexy librarian.”

We’re complete opposites, and to make matters worse, we’re vying for the same job.

No worries—I’m perfectly happy keeping him at arm’s length. And judging by his lack of interest in me (the only woman in the office he hasn’t flirted with), he seems to agree.

But then, a sudden earthquake rocks my carefully constructed world, and we find ourselves stuck overnight in the office. Suddenly, things don’t seem so simple. It turns out that Connor isn’t the self-absorbed jerk I thought he was.

When he offers to join me as my fake boyfriend at my ex’s wedding—talk about a curveball—I can’t help but let my heart race and my imagination run wild. Especially when he surprises me with a kiss that’s way more swoony than chaste.

I know I can’t fall for him—that would be repeating my past mistakes. But my heart is stubbornly convinced that Connor might just be my very own Mr. Darcy.

Can I resist the magnetic pull of our unexpected chemistry, or will I end up writing my own love story with the man I swore I'd never want?

Perfect for fans of:

✔️flirtatious banter

✔️office romances between competitors

✔️fake relationships

✔️ forced proximity

✔️charming “bad boys” who are secret cinnamon rolls

loved it

What a nice, adorable rom com. I was highly entertained from the very beginning until the end. It made me feel all sorts of emotions. I highly recommend it.

Semplice

Non mi è piaciuto molto il linguaggio. Storia carinaa niente di che, non mi sono affezionata ai personaggi :/

nice reading

It was a good reading. The story is modern with a little twist.Looking forward to the next books in the series.

A pulchritudinous read!

I love when books give me new words!This book delivered on ALL the feels.I laughed and I cried and got butterflies.I really felt for Conner and Evie and their plights. Excellent writing and editing.I didn't spot any misspelled words which i really appreciate!Overall was a pleasure to read.

Cute

3.5/5This was one cute romance novel. Although I am not fond of the way Connor keeps changing his mind, I understand that introspection takes time, and sometimes it's difficult to understand what you really want.That being said, I liked how the emotions of both FMC and MMC were brought out in the book.
