Book Description
He’s falling hard…right into the walls she's put up between them. Former Army Captain Vanessa Emerson wants one thing. Control. After being held captive by terrorists, her world is still wrapped in anxiety and PTSD, and the last thing she needs is a man. Especially not Damian Scott: billionaire developer, philanthropist, and walking suit ad. But when he makes her an offer she can’t refuse to head a housing project for disabled veterans, suddenly he’s got a new title—Boss. Worse, he’s far too charming for his own good and has a habit of pushing all her buttons. Damian Scott has everything money can buy, except the one thing he craves: a woman who challenges him. Vanessa. Smart, irreverent, and utterly unimpressed by his wealth, she’s the only person who makes him feel like a real man instead of a walking bank account. When the town matchmaker gives them both a love prediction, Damian finally has a little help to prove to Vanessa that he’s more than a suit with a fortune—and that what she’s been avoiding looks a lot like love. Tropes · Billionaire boss · Hurt/Comfort · Workplace romance · Alpha cinnamon roll CEO hero · Matchmaker · Wounded warrior (her scars are on the inside) · He falls first · Found family · Small town · Slow burn · Closed door/kissing only

Pages : 384
Book Description
#1 New York Times Bestseller “Funny and smart as hell” (Bill Gates), Allie Brosh’s Hyperbole and a Half showcases her unique voice, leaping wit, and her ability to capture complex emotions with deceptively simple illustrations. FROM THE PUBLISHER: Every time Allie Brosh posts something new on her hugely popular blog Hyperbole and a Half the internet rejoices. This full-color, beautifully illustrated edition features more than fifty percent new content, with ten never-before-seen essays and one wholly revised and expanded piece as well as classics from the website like, “The God of Cake,” “Dogs Don’t Understand Basic Concepts Like Moving,” and her astonishing, “Adventures in Depression,” and “Depression Part Two,” which have been hailed as some of the most insightful meditations on the disease ever written. Brosh’s debut marks the launch of a major new American humorist who will surely make even the biggest scrooge or snob laugh. We dare you not to. FROM THE AUTHOR: This is a book I wrote. Because I wrote it, I had to figure out what to put on the back cover to explain what it is. I tried to write a long, third-person summary that would imply how great the book is and also sound vaguely authoritative—like maybe someone who isn’t me wrote it—but I soon discovered that I’m not sneaky enough to pull it off convincingly. So I decided to just make a list of things that are in the book: Pictures Words Stories about things that happened to me Stories about things that happened to other people because of me Eight billion dollars* Stories about dogs The secret to eternal happiness* *These are lies. Perhaps I have underestimated my sneakiness!
