Deacon is a former NFL player, grumpy and set in his ways. At least he was a grump until Kalli, his assistant, quits. Now he's going out of his way to try and make sure Kalli isn't out of his life for good. The professional lines they have always drawn are now getting a bit blurry...

What a fun novella. I think a one bed trope in the hands of a skillful sweet romance author can be one of the best things. You feel all the tension without having to skim. Deacon and Kalli had such a good rapport as employee and employer, so when their relationship changes and leaves them both baffled, it makes for some interesting internal musings. I flew through this. 

Set in the Sheet Cake universe, this book works as a stand alone, but it's more fun when you already know the characters who show up as side characters here.
