What happens when the man you’d thought could be the one turns out to be your new boss?
The moment I met Aston Cage, I knew my life had changed. A single dance later, we’re both all in. Until he ghosted me.
Then my boss fires me for dancing with the enemy.
Three months later, working for the Cages is my last resort. Now I’ll work beside him day by day, trying not to let my feelings take control. It’s heaven and hell. Except I’m starting to think there’s a part of this story I’m missing…
Aston
I made myself walk away from Blakely after my family’s dirty laundry hit the news. My father’s secret family complicates everything. In order to keep our inheritance intact, we’re forced to do monthly dinners with both sides of the family—the brothers I grew up with and the new set of siblings we never knew about.
An additional obstacle: Blakely is my new sister’s best friend.
Meaning the moment I give into temptation, I not only risk the woman I’m falling for, but the family legacy just starting to reveal itself.
But Blakley is worth it. I just have to prove I am as well.

“Aston,” James warned.
I was grateful for the chaperone in this conversation.
“It’s fine. I have a new job now, and I’m happy. There’s no
need for anything to be awkward.” She smiled, though I wasn’t sure if it was
real or not.
“What happened?” I asked.
Blakely gave me a confused look before turning to James.
“You knew that I was searching for a job, and he didn’t?”
“No, your position would be under my purview, not his
section. We separate our companies underneath the umbrella of Cage Enterprises
so we don’t fight anymore. Brothers and all.”
She blinked, and I had no idea what she was thinking. It was
easier to know her when we were just texting, when she was a stranger on the
other line. And I desperately wanted to know what she was thinking.
“I was fired because Howard didn’t like our dance,” she said
pointedly.
My hands fisted at my sides. “Are you fucking kidding me?”
“I’m not kidding you. He put it in different words and found
another reason for me to lose my job. And for the past three months—”
“Three months?” I cut her off. “You’ve been out of work for
three months?”
She winced, her cheeks turning a rosy shade.
“Aston. Seriously?” James grumbled.
“Yes. Because Howard didn’t want me to have a job. And I
figured coming here of all places probably wouldn’t be the best bet.”
“I’m going to kill him,” I growled.
“You are not,” Blakely said, her voice strong, that same
strength that I had liked three months ago.
“Excuse me?”
“This is my business. Yes, he’s a terrible man, and if I had
the time and the wherewithal, I could have found a way to sue him or get
vengeance, but it doesn’t matter. I have a new job. Your brother hired me. And
I’m going to be the best at it. So we don’t need to make things awkward.”
“Oh this isn’t awkward at all,” James said.
