Marie is scared of her boss. So is everybody else at the company. Chris Damon isn't just any CEO; he's a fire-breathing dragon, armed with a razor-sharp mind and an even sharper tongue. He sets standards so high they might as well be on the moon, and if you can't keep up? Bye-bye.
But Marie also knows something her colleagues don't. Beneath the sharp edges and fiery glares, Chris isn't a dragon at all—he's a hedgehog. Prickly on the outside, soft as a marshmallow on the inside. He sets impossible standards to prove he's good enough—good enough for the parents who barely notice him, and definitely good enough to escape the shadow of his golden-boy brother, Gabriel.
But when his long-time crush has set her sights on Gabriel too, this is the emotional equivalent of pouring lemon juice on an open wound. Watching Paulette chase after Gabriel sends Chris spiralling toward a self-destructive path that might just take the whole company down with him.
Now it's up to Marie, his overworked, underappreciated assistant, to drag him back from the brink. Marie's no fairy godmother—she spends most mornings wishing her boss would come down with a flu so nasty it keeps him home for a week, preferably with the added bonus of temporary vocal paralysis—but she's determined to make Chris see his worth, whether he wants to or not.
She only wishes she can do it before time runs out.
