“Watch the hands,” she teased, glancing back at him.

He gave her a wicked grin and slid his palm back even more inappropriately so it was cupping her ass.

“Hey,” she objected.

“I thought I was allowed to do that now.”

She playfully swatted his hand away. “Not in public.”

“There’s no one else around. And you know how irresistible I find your delectable ass.”

She made a face at him but was smiling when he leaned over to kiss her. After he pulled away, she said, “Seriously, though, I want to learn how to do this.”

“Right. Then why don’t you try it again?”

It took her about ten more times, but she finally got the pop-up right, jumping up from her stomach in a fast, smooth move with her feet and body in the right position.

When she finally got it right, she squealed in excitement and launched herself at him in a hug. He caught her, the momentum causing him to spin around once as he held her tightly.

“I love you, Jake Woodward,” she burst out, when she raised her head to smile at him, joy and affection overflowing into words.

They hadn’t said those words to each other yet, but she wasn’t even afraid. She gazed up at him, knowing—knowing—he felt the same way.

He froze for a moment, before emotion broke briefly on his face. But then he drawled, “I’m sure you already know how much I love you too. And, seriously, if I’d known it would get me this reaction, I would have taught you to surf ages ago.”

Sometimes she couldn’t believe this miracle had really happened to her, that someone she loved so much could actually love her back.

But it had happened. And it was real. And it wasn’t going to go away.

Maybe it had happened gradually, and over the course of seven years, Jake had changed from her boss into the man she wanted to spend the rest of her life with.

Or maybe it had happened in only one night.

Excerpt from Engaging the Boss

She couldn’t believe Jonathan was engaged. How was she going to stand working for him every day when he was married, knowing she wasn’t even allowed to dream about him?

His fiancée was undoubtedly beautiful—slender, elegant, and stylish. Everything Sarah was not.

“What’s wrong?” Jonathan asked from behind her. He’d evidently walked out of his office and taken his normal position at the lab table.

She turned around, her eyes widening. “Nothing. Why?”

Jonathan didn’t look anything like a stereotypical research scientist. He was built like a football player, but it must be just good genes because she never saw him working out. He had a strong, handsome face with brown hair and brown eyes, and his clothes and lab coat were perpetually wrinkled.

He gave a half-shrug at her question. “You seemed to be having a hard time screwing on the lid.”

“Oh. No. I just wasn’t paying attention.” She smiled at him, as brightly as she could, as she brought his coffee back over. “Is your uncle doing all right?”

His uncle, Cyrus Damon, had founded a multi-billion dollar conglomerate of hotels and restaurants, and his four nephews were the heirs to his fortune. The other nephews were more in the spotlight than Jonathan. He’d buried himself for years at school in MIT and in the lab here, which he’d opened seven years ago with funding that came primarily from his uncle.

“You heard, huh?” He shook his head as he took a swallow of coffee. “He never changes. He’s unhappy with me, as usual.”

“I’m sorry to hear that,” she murmured, looking back at the DNA sequence blindly. “I didn’t know you were engaged. Congratulations.” She couldn’t help but wonder how he’d found the time to date and get engaged to someone. The one long-term relationship she’d had was with Matt Turner, who’d been hired at the lab at the same time she was. Their relationship had dissolved after a year, in part because they just hadn’t had time for each other.
