The weekend starts badly. A booking glitch sends two strangers to the same rental cabin in the middle of the night, and when the woman wakes to find a man in her bed, she goes straight for the attack. The intruder turns out to be Dawson Reed, who had every right to be there. He booked the same cabin. The system doubled the reservation. With a holiday weekend locking down every room within fifty miles, they have no choice but to share the space. They are both in town for the same wedding, and Dawson is exactly the groomsman her best friend warned her about: tall, dark, genuinely gorgeous, and guaranteed to get under her skin. The warning came with a footnote: you two will hate each other. That part proves accurate. Surviving a forced weekend together is one thing. Then Monday arrives. Dawson Reed is her new boss. The attraction was already a problem. The resentment was already a problem. Now there is a reporting structure on top of both. The question sitting at the center of this book is simple and uncomfortable: what do you do when the person you cannot stand is also the person you cannot stop thinking about?
