When she landed her dream job in renewable energy, she thought she\u2019d be entering a world at the forefront of progressive thinking. But the head boss prefers to promote employees who are \u201csettled.\u201d Thankfully, she\u2019s found the perfect candidate, a fellow intellectual looking for some quick cash. What Parker gets is his protective big brother\u2014Rhys Morgan. The tall, muscled ex-boxer with a foul mouth shows up just as her boss does, and now she\u2019s stuck with the manipulative jerk.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Responsibility weighs heavily on Rhys. Now permanently out of the ring, he\u2019s trying to hold together his late father\u2019s gym and keep his younger brother, Dean, on the straight and narrow. To save Dean from himself, Rhys takes his place, ready to give this society girl a piece of his mind. Instead, he finds an opportunity. Even though they can hardly stand each other, posing as Parker\u2019s boyfriend is a win-win deal. She gets to keep her job, and he\u2019ll charm her star-struck boss into sponsoring his gym.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Problem is, they can barely keep their hands off each other. And what started as an easy deal isn\u2019t so easy anymore. Because what future can a rough ex-boxer, afraid to open his heart, and a polished society geek, who has sworn off real relationships, possibly have?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>They say opposites attract.
