We’ve all heard about the public image consultant brought in to fix the bad boy’s image. That’s not me.Â
Nope, quite the opposite. I’ve been hired—well, blackmailed is more like it—to be a bad influence on grumpy, gorgeous, humor-deprived billionaire Elliott Bradford. He’s just become the public face of his family’s company, Bradford Amusement Parks. Problem: The board is about to kick him to the curb because they think Elliott wouldn’t recognize fun if it bit him in the as… spiration.
And they’re not wrong. I can’t believe I have to spend the next three months trying to coax a smile out of Jerk-in-a-Box. But if I fail, my secret shenanigans will be brought to light and my parents will pay the price. Again.
So here I am, getting stuck on top of a midnight roller coaster ride with him… and letting him kiss my panic attack away. Signing us up for a mud run… and letting him wash the mud out of my hair in the shower… Yes, I’m that dedicated to my job.
But the more I get to know broody Elliott, the more I think there might actually be a beating heart hiding underneath that navy double-breasted jacket. And the closer I get to the end of my assignment, the more I want to be the girl who can make him smile for real.
Elliott is the new CEO of Bradford Amusement who appears to be all work and no play. For any other company those qualities would be perfect but for a company that is trying to foster a reputation of fun and good times that isn’t the case. He now finds himself spending time with Jillian and his life will never be the same.
Jillian is a woman who acts first and thinks second all with the best of intentions. Her latest act of spontaneity has consequences as she needs to help out Elliott and the family business by showing the world that there is much more to this staid businessman than first appears however the person who is most surprised might must be her.
There is so much more to this story than the humorous interactions and hot chemistry as the characters of Elliott and Jillian draw you in and keep you entertained from beginning to end.
