Description

He lives by a set of rules. She might be his one exception. I just wanted a distraction, something to take the edge off before facing a wedding I was dreading. So on the flight back to New York, I signed up for a dating app. Harmless enough, right?Wrong.Turns out, it wasn’t just any app—it catered to people with very specific tastes. By the time I realized it, I was already on my date.Tall, confident, and sinfully handsome, Jagger Langston seemed like the full package. The chemistry between us was instant—electric enough to burn the whole city down. Though things took a turn when we figured out I’d misunderstood who should join the app. We laughed it off, said goodbye, and went our separate ways.Or so I thought.Until I walked into my new internship Monday morning, ready to put the weekend behind me, and there he was—my boss.Now I’m caught between the rules he lives by—and the temptation to make him break every single one of them.
