Boss’s Red Glare by Lizzie Sparks

When uptight boss Connor Bradford needs to dazzle out-of-state clients at the company’s annual Fourth of July barbecue, he’s determined to show them the perfect picture of small-town charm—and his own so-called “perfect” life. Trouble is, Connor doesn’t have a girlfriend. However, his quick-witted assistant, Maisie McKenzie, agrees to play the part—for one night only.
From the moment Maisie slips her hand into Connor’s, this quirky ruse starts to feel a lot less fake. Between the star-spangled decorations, mouthwatering barbecue, and the epic fireworks display, the sparks between them grow hotter than the summer sun. But can a relationship built on pretend survive the truth… especially when hearts—and hometown reputations—are on the line?
