Shai has plans. Some Indulgent—Go bungee jumping. Get a body piercing. Some Important—Pursue professional baking. Start her happy family of two. And One Absolute plan, a promise—Never be anyone’s second choice.
But her solid plans turn shaky when the restaurant she manages changes hands and Hello! Captain Grinch steps aboard. The arrogant new owner dislikes Shai from day one, slating her as undeserving and incompetent, making her want to quit. Instead…she decides to turn the boss’s life into a living hell.
Dwayne’s only plan is to revamp and relaunch his latest restaurant, then leave it in the capable hands of the manager and return to his reclusive life in London. Except…the very capable and whip-smart manager is a pain-in-the-neck who turns up late on the first day, doesn’t even offer an apology and acts like a queen, like she owns the place. And that just won’t do!
The boss and manager butt heads at every interaction. Their war of words and wit challenge each other’s limits.
Then one day, Dwayne puts forward a crazy proposition, changing the rules of their games, entangling their lives further.
Shai is willing to up the ante, take the risk and play along.
But is she prepared to lose, especially when her poor little heart is at stake?
