Grumpy Protector Boss

An Enemies to Lovers Opposites Attract Romance

By: Bella Darcy

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

I called him rigid. He called me reckless—then kissed me like he wanted proof.

Lucas Maddox is my grumpy, gorgeous billionaire boss.
Obsessed with preserving his family’s legacy by restoring a crumbling lighthouse one stone at a time.

He doesn’t like surprises.
Too bad I arrived with storm clouds, big dreams, and a stubborn streak that drives him crazy
The design “assistant” he never asked for.

We clash over every detail.
He wants control; I crave freedom.
He wants silence; I bring fire.
But when a storm traps us together, desire burns through every rule he’s made to keep his distance.

Our chemistry is equal parts wildfire and gravity.
Every kiss we weren’t supposed to share pulled me deeper.

Beneath his armor, Lucas is loyal, protective, and heartbreakingly human.
Falling for him feels inevitable.

Then his past resurfaces like a hurricane threatening everything on its path.
And this time, the storm might undo us both.
