I have a secret.

I have to ruin my brother’s life.

I put my dreams and plans on hold for the good of the family business. I was the dutiful daughter who worked tirelessly behind the scenes making my mother’s vision come to life.

I was promised, one day, my own part of the company would get its time to shine. That I could come out from behind my mother’s overwhelming shadow.

I have a secret.

I have to ruin my brother’s life.

I put my dreams and plans on hold for the good of the family business. I was the dutiful daughter who worked tirelessly behind the scenes making my mother’s vision come to life.

I was promised, one day, my own part of the company would get its time to shine. That I could come out from behind my mother’s overwhelming shadow.

Then an insidious secret threatened everything.

My mother had a family she left behind.

And my brother is only my half-brother.

Jude wanted to get to know his true father and the brothers he never knew he had. While in the small town in New York, he found every reason to stay.

Leaving me behind.

The problem: Our mother has been working on a billion dollar merger and if the world found out A Home You Love—a brand based on home and family—was a lie, the whole deal would crumble.

The directive: Get my brother back to Seattle by any means necessary to show the board of directors we’re a happy family. Even if it’s a lie.

The pain point: If I don’t get Jude back into the family fold my business will never see the light of day and my entire team of employees will lose their jobs. And it will be all my fault.

The complications: Xavier Hastings, millionaire mogul, and my brother’s business partner. The people of Crescent Cove.

How am I supposed to save my employees when I’m falling in love with the most maddening, complicated, overwhelming man I’ve ever known—as well as the baby I never knew I wanted?

Author Note: BARGAIN WITH THE BOSS is a brother’s best friend, black cat/golden retriever romance with a bonus surprise baby. Xavier wasn’t ready for Sydney in any way, but he’s holding on tight and he’s never going to let go. This is book two in our The Moguls spinoff trilogy set in our small town Crescent Cove. It has a happily-ever-after ending and a mild cliffhanger that will be answered in the final book.
