The Boss Takes A Wife Book 1

The Boss Takes A Wife Book 1

Heather Teston

"If you want to keep your job and save the others, I have a proposition that will benefit both of us," he said as he towered over her.

Gabriel Maestri is rich, ruthless, and terrifyingly untouchable—the kind of man whispered about in fear. They call him the Demon of Italy, and he lives up to the name. Paige Mosley is everything he’s not: kind, innocent, and determined to save her job—and the others—when she hears the hotel may shut down. Her plan? Make a deal with the devil himself. But power games come with a price, and feelings were never part of the bargain. As Gabriel's cold exterior starts to crack, Paige wonders—can she melt the heart of a man who claims he doesn’t have one? Or will she lose herself trying?

Shala Mungroo

Jessie likes her quiet life exactly the way it is. No drama, no spotlight, and definitely no attention from the most popular guy at school. She keeps her head down, avoids gossip, and plans to survive college unnoticed. Then Nick walks straight into her carefully guarded world with an easy smile and far too much confidence. Everyone adores him, but Jessie isn’t impressed by charm, football trophies, or pretty blue eyes. That only seems to make Nick more determined. The more he chases her, the more Jessie realizes there’s something unexpectedly genuine beneath his golden-boy reputation. Between teasing conversations, stolen moments, and feelings neither of them planned for, Jessie starts wondering if being noticed might not be the worst thing after all.

Their first clash is anything but gentle, yet something about him keeps pulling her back into his orbit. As their worlds keep colliding, Tayla starts to question everything she thought defined her.

Briana Bennett

Jordan Maxwell shows up in sun-kissed Valencia for a family wedding expecting football, food, and maybe a few too many cousins—not the Silva twins. Gorgeous, rich, and way too sure of themselves, they’re the kind of trouble he swears he’s immune to. Except one of them—Nico—smiles, and suddenly Jordan’s pulse is doing cartwheels.

Between orange blossoms, beach parties, and late-night secrets, Valencia turns into a slow-burn battlefield of flirtation and denial. Nico is equal parts danger and delight, and Jordan can’t decide if he wants to punch him, kiss him, or both. But when sparks catch fire under the Mediterranean sun, there’s no hiding what’s real.

Because some secrets can stay buried—until love blows the lid clean off.
