Bossy Grump

Nicole Snow

Book 2 of Bad Chicago Bosses

A fake-engagement romantic comedy about Paige Holly, an architecture firm employee, and her scowling billionaire boss Ward Brandt, who first meets her while rescuing her from a bad date and later turns her professional nemesis. When a family crisis forces Ward into the spotlight, he proposes a temporary, paid fake engagement to Paige to save face, and the arrangement slowly melts the animosity between them into real feeling. Told with plenty of workplace banter and slow-burn tension, it's a lighter, comedic entry in Snow's grumpy-boss series with an emotional family subplot layered underneath the humor.
