How to Resist Your Boss
(2026)(The second book in the Ashford Brothers series)
A novel by Leslie North
The Hating Game meets Crazy Rich Asians—but he’s a grumpy hotel mogul, she’s the chaos-taming wedding planner who can’t stand him, and one viral scandal turns their feud into a fake engagement with sparks they definitely can’t fake.
From the moment I bumped into Drew Ashford I knew one thing: I’d rather lick a subway pole than deal with him again.
Sure, he’s sexy as hell—in a hot movie-villain kind of way. Too bad he’s also obnoxious, arrogant, and worst of all, a dog hater.
Not my problem…if he didn’t own the hotel where the biggest wedding of my career is taking place.
Landing the wedding of a mega-famous reality star couple could make my career. All I need is everything to run smoothly: no scandals, no drama, no Drew.
But when a very compromising, very viral video catches him with the bride, Drew decides to drag me into his mess. Announcing—to millions of the couple’s rabid fans—that we’re engaged!
Spoiler: we are not.
Now to protect the wedding (and our own reputations), Drew convinces me to play along. The ring? Fake. The backstory? Fabricated. The chemistry?
…Unfortunately, very real.
And somewhere between the forced smiles and infuriatingly hot kisses, I start to wonder… what if I hate him a little less than I should?
Genre: Romance
