Engagement between Enemies

To save her career, an uptight executive agrees to a fake engagement with the handsome new boss she swore to resist.

With no corporate background beyond his rural upbringing, the down-to-earth newcomer relied on practical common sense to steer the Albuquerque firm. Behind her severe dark suits and owlish glasses, the brilliant operations manager had no intention of making his transition easy.

Threatened by the new boss, the spitfire constantly fought his innovative ideas. But after a scandalous rumor erupted, honorable Caleb made Alyssa a proposal she couldn't refuse....

A mock engagement was supposed to quiet the office rumor mill and protect her career until the scandal blew over. Trapped in a whirlwind charade, the cautious executive never expected their convenient arrangement to ignite an irresistible attraction.
