Release Blitz: The Boss by J.L. Perry
Title: The Boss
Author: J.L. Perry
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Release Date: January 29, 2017
Hanna Scott … she’s been my
obsession since I was seventeen.
She’s the object of every dirty
thought I’ve ever had.
I’m consumed.
I lust over her … albeit from afar.
She has no idea how I feel.
And my secret can never come out,
because there’s one major hurdle
standing in our way …
she’s my best friend’s little
sister.
When she offers to stand in as my
temporary secretary, I’m torn.
Will I be able to risk the temptation?
Or will I succumb and lose everything
that I hold dear?
“Good morning, Mr Williams.”
Mr Williams? She’s never called
me that before. It’s always been Harry or Giant. That’s her
comeback for me calling her Shrimp. She’s four-foot-seven, so my
six-foot-three frame, towers over hers.
Spinning around, I almost swallow my
tongue when I find her standing in the doorway to my office. She’s
wearing a high-waisted tight fitting skirt that stops just above her
knees. It hugs her body perfectly. I can see a hint of white lace
protruding from underneath her white silk blouse. She looks like an
angel. A sinfully, hot as hell angel. The thin red belt around her
tiny waist matches her sexy red heels. She’s sex on legs, a walking
fucking wet dream.
I swear I’m holding my breath as my
eyes drink her in. Her long blonde hair is pulled into a bun at the
nape of her neck, and the red rimmed glasses she’s wearing not only
frame her beautiful blue eyes perfectly, they turn me the hell on.
She has this naughty librarian thing going on and it instantly has my
mind going into overdrive. I picture her releasing her long blonde
locks from where they’re being held captive, and imagine her
shaking her head from side to side as her hair comes loose and
cascades down her lean back. I shake my head and suppress a growl as
I try to bring my mind out of the gutter and back into reality. What
in the hell is wrong with me? Like always, she’s playing the
starring role in one of my many fantasies. This shit has to stop.
When my eyes finally meet hers, I find
her smiling. Did she just witness me checking her out? Thank fuck she
can’t read minds. I’d be in deep shit if she could. Having her
here is going to be harder than I thought.
Clearing my throat, I tug at the tie
around my neck as I take a step closer. I’m suddenly feeling
claustrophobic. “You don’t need to call me, Mr Williams, Han.”
“What did your other Secretaries call
you?”
“Mr Williams,” I chuckle.
She looks up at me from beneath her
glasses and I’m pretty sure my heart just skipped a beat. I could
drown in those damn eyes of hers. “Well, Mr Williams it is then.”
“I’d feel stupid hearing you call
me that.”
“Only in the office,” she replies
with a smile. “Outside of here, you’ll still be Giant, my
brother’s pesky friend, or just plain old Harry.”
“Your brother’s pesky friend, hey?”
I say, pulling her into a headlock.
“Yes,” she laughs.
“Take that back, Shrimp.”
“Okay. Only mildly pesky … and only
on occasions.”
We’re both laughing when I release
her. She’s like no other woman I know. Things are so easy around
her, just like breathing.
“So now we’ve got that established,
where do you want me to start?” I smile when she eagerly rubs her
hands together. I like her enthusiasm.
“Come, your desk is out here.” The
thought of moving her desk into my office, flashes through my mind.
That would be asking for trouble; trouble I don’t need.
Placing my hand on the small of her
back, I lead her out to reception. Once she’s seated, I get her to
log onto the computer. “I have a conference this afternoon, I’m
going to need you to make sure all the files are in order. I’ll
also need you to print out copies of my presentation, for them to
follow.”
“That sounds like something I could
do.”
“Click on the Jensen merger file,”
I say, leaning forward and pointing to it on the screen. I inhale a
large breath when her fruity, yet flowery, smell invades my senses.
“Did you just sniff me?”
“What? No.” Standing to full
height, I clear my throat. “Why would I sniff you?” I
deadpan. Jesus. I’m starting to look like some kind of
sniffing freak. In my defence, she shouldn’t smell so good. I need
to get my shit together if I’m going to come out the other end of
this unscathed.
“Okay. No need to get so defensive. I
thought I heard you sniff.”
“Nope. No sniffing. I definitely
didn’t sniff you.” I’m such a damn liar. I so sniffed her.
“Okay. You didn’t sniff me,” she
says, shrugging her shoulders. “Relax. Geez. It’s no big deal.”
“I’ll email you a list of jobs that
need doing this morning. After lunch, you’ll need to set up the
boardroom for my presentation.”
With that, I turn and head back into my
office. I need distance.
It’s safer.
