Ruthless Boss, Royal Mistress

384 pages

A deliciously indulgent clash of wills where boardroom friction inevitably combusts into bedroom surrender.

What it feels like

Reading this is like sipping a brightly colored cocktail by a Sydney infinity pool—it is pure, unapologetic escapism. The narrative moves at a brisk, confident clip, leaning hard into the delicious friction of a workplace power struggle between a demanding billionaire and a delightfully incompetent royal. It feels sun-drenched and glamorous, balancing sassy banter with high-heat tension that crackles from the very first page. The prose is punchy and dialogue-driven, designed to keep the pages turning rather than to linger on introspection. It is the perfect palate cleanser for readers who crave a quick, steamy fantasy where stubborn antagonism melts into intense physical chemistry and surprising emotional warmth.

About the book

Princess Lissa Karedes, renowned posh party girl, has been packed off to Australia to learn the meaning of hard work! But billionaire James Black, her wickedly sexy boss, has different ideas. He won't be treating her any differently just because she's royal. But he is tempted to break his golden rule and bed his assistant! Lissa is dreadful at business and when she nearly costs him his reputation, he issues her an ultimatum: she's banned from the boardroom, but welcome to take a promotion...to his bedroom!
