One viral meltdown. One stranger's kiss. One boss determined to enforce his no-romance rule.

Maximiliano "Max" Hayes went viral for the wrong reasons: a public meltdown, a swear-off-men-forever rant, and a stranger's kiss that was supposed to mean nothing.

There's just one problem: that stranger is now his boss.

Simon West doesn't have social media. Doesn't Google. Doesn't know—or care—that his newest employee is now famous for swearing off men forever. He's got one rule as Heart in Hand's new manager: no distractions, romantic or otherwise.

But when it's clear the job Max wanted for himself now belongs to the very man he can't stop thinking about, an uneasy truce is struck between boss and employee—with more than just a ten-year age gap standing between them.

Max gets a shot at proving he deserves the business he loves. Simon gets the begrudging cooperation of an employee the business can’t run without. All they have to do? Survive working side by side—one of them chronically online, the other allergic to Wi-Fi—without breaking Simon's number one rule.

But when professional distance starts feeling like denial and their truce shifts from tolerance to something else entirely, Max and Simon start to realize that some rules are made to be broken—and some viral moments are just the beginning of the story.
