My Enemy’s Boyfriend
Goodreads / Amazon / Barnes & Noble / iBooks / Kobo -- EXCERPT: “What the hell are you wearing?” “Huh?” He glanced down at himself, then added, “Oh. Yeah. I had my six-month evaluation at work this evening. Didn’t get a chance to change out of the monkey suit before I had to leave home again.” I wanted to ask him why he’d had to leave home so unexpectedly in the first place, but… He was wearing a suit. Unable to get past that, I backed myself into the nearest wall and stared, basically forced to gawk unashamedly. “Suit,” I whimpered, no longer operating with brain cells but supercharged by hormones alone.
