Beautiful Bastard (Volume 1) (The Beautiful Series, Band 1)

Product description The hilarious, sexy love-hate-lust-hate-love romantic comedy by the New York Times and USA TODAY bestselling author of Dating You / Hating You and Love and Other Words, who “hilariously depicts modern dating” ( Us Weekly) and will leave you begging for more. An ambitious intern. A perfectionist executive. And a whole lot of name calling. Ambitious, hardworking, and on her way to an MBA, Chloe Mills has only one problem: her boss, Bennett Ryan. He’s demanding, blunt, inconsiderate—and completely irresistible. She can’t help but consider him a beautiful bastard. Bennett has returned to Chicago from France to take a vital role in his family’s massive media business. He never expected that the assistant who had been helping him from abroad was the gorgeous, innocently provocative— completely infuriating—creature he now has to see every day. Despite the rumors, he’s never been one for a workplace hookup. But Chloe’s so tempting, he’s willing to bend the rules—or outright smash them—if it means he can have her. All over the office. As their appetites for one another increase to a breaking point, Bennett and Chloe must decide exactly what they’re willing to lose in order to win each other. “The perfect blend of sex, sass, and heart, Beautiful Bastard is a steamy battle of wills that will get your blood pumping” (S.C. Stephens, bestselling author of Thoughtless).
