Boss's Orders. Coworkers & Bosses, #1

Lex Stone came to Willow Ridge looking for a fresh start. He didn't expect to find Grant Holloway-the town's disciplined, respected, and dangerously off-limits redevelopment director. Grant has built his life around control, responsibility, and keeping the right boundaries firmly in place. Hiring Alex as his new assistant shouldn't threaten any of that. It does. Late nights at the office become lingering conversations.
Professional glances last a little too long. And the distance Grant is determined to maintain gets harder to justify every time Alex walks into the room. But Willow Ridge is the kind of town where secrets don't stay secret-and crossing the line between them could cost more than either man expected. Alex came here to start over. Grant has spent years playing it safe. Now they have to decide whether protecting the lives they've built matters more than taking a chance on the one thing neither of them planned to find.
Each other.
