When Ruby bombs her big audition thanks to a mystery guy who kissed—and coughed—on her at a party, she thinks her luck couldn't get worse... until she discovers that same gorgeous guy is her new boss. Bane Mills offers her a live-in position caring for his exotic pets while she gets back on her feet, and suddenly Ruby's crashing in his luxurious penthouse with the man who literally made her sick. What follows is a delicious mix of awkward encounters, witty banter, and enough sizzling chemistry to set the city on fire, as these two navigate close quarters and increasingly undeniable attraction. This one's perfect if you love laugh-out-loud romance with real stakes and characters you can't help but root for!
