Cruel Truths

A Grumpy Boss – Enemies to Lovers Romance

On the verge of giving up her dream, she’s offered

one last opportunity when fate intervenes.

Aspiring fashion designer Lindy Garcia’s new boss, Cade Kingsley, has been a cold-hearted a-hole since their first meeting. As he sits on the board of the fashion company she is determined to be a part of, Lindy vows to withstand anything he throws her way.

Having grown up in the inner city, she’s learned to keep her emotions buried, but Cade causes her to lose control over and over again, in more ways than one. Despite her resolve not to let him draw her in, he finds her weakness: her family. Now Lindy has no choice but to be his fake girlfriend. Suddenly she’s forced to be in his proximity all the time, enduring the sensations he invokes in her.

Gradually, Lindy’s dislike turns into a connection she’s unable to break away from. When it all comes crashing down around her, will she give up and go home or give Cade another chance?

If you crave office romances, enemy to lover romances, or contemporary romances with an alpha hero Cruel Truths is for you!

The man is behind the woman, his lips are open and it looks like he is about to kiss the neck of the woman. The woman is in front of the man. The lips, diamond choker, and part of her neck are the only things visible in the picture. The man has a dark stubble for a mustache and beard. The picture is black and white. The title of the picture is Cruel Truths Tropes which is highlighted in the same blue as the cover title. The tropes listed, in black letters, on the picture are grumpy boss, billionaire hero, alpha hero, slow burn, and feisty heroine.

Book Quotes

“His warm fingers brushed my bare back, and I couldn’t stop the shudder that ran through me. Cade’s fingers stopped, and the air became electrified. I couldn’t move waiting for something that I shouldn’t want.”

“Once I’ve hurled all my pent-up anger, I sit back and cross my arms. The surrounding air is just like after a fresh snow. Eerily silent and cold.”

“The husky undertone has me glancing at him, and then I become unable to look away. The kindling that was brought to life when I stared at him on the sidewalk is relit.”

“I vaguely comprehend that Cade is talking to me like I’m a wounded animal. When I figure out that I’m okay, my body shivers so hard it feels like my teeth are rattling. I throw myself at Cade, desperate to steal his heat.“
