Dominic was staring at me like he couldn\u2019t decide whether to chop me into pieces or pull my hair and French kiss me.<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

\nI got her fired. Okay, so I\u2019d had a bad day and took it out on a bystander in a pizza shop. But there\u2019s nothing innocent about Ally Morales. She proves that her first day of her new job\u2026 in my office\u2026 after being hired by my mother.<\/p>\n
So maybe her colorful, annoying, inexplicably alluring personality brightens up the magazine\u2019s offices that have felt like a prison for the past year. Maybe I like that she argues with me in front of the editorial staff. And maybe my after-hours fantasies are haunted by those brown eyes and that sharp tongue.<\/p>\n
But that doesn\u2019t mean that I\u2019m going to be the next Russo man to take advantage of his position. I might be a second-generation asshole, but I am not my father.<\/p>\n
She\u2019s working herself to death at half a dozen dead-end jobs for some secret reason she doesn\u2019t feel like sharing with me. And I\u2019m going to fix it all. Don\u2019t accuse me of caring. She\u2019s nothing more than a puzzle to be solved. If I can get her to quit, I can finally peel away all those layers. Then I can go back to salvaging the family name and forget all about the dancing, beer-slinging brunette.<\/p>\n

\nHa. Hold my beer, Grumpy Grump Face.<\/p>\n
