To get her dream job, sheâll have to date her worst nightmare . . .
Grace Hastings is in a rut. Her career is stagnating, her boss is a leech, and she feels like a fraud working for Fate, a dating app whose ethos she no longer believes in. And donât even get her started on the state of her love life.
So when the companyâs CEO offers her an opportunity for a big promotion and the chance to work on the launch of a dating app that she actually cares about, Grace canât believe her luck.
That is, until she discovers that she must test drive a series of âfirst datesâ with her competition for the job: notorious socialite playboy and Graceâs biggest work rival, Eric Bancroft.
But Grace refuses to give up her dream job because of a man. And besides, how romantic can a handful of fake dates with your biggest rival really be?
Thereâs absolutely no way itâs an office romance waiting to happen.
