Forty, Flirty & Fired

By Lacey Monroe

Deal Ends: Wed 28th October

Fired on my 42nd birthday… then I accidentally drenched my arch-nemesis in champagne. Talk about Ho-Ho-Horror I crashed my old company’s gala for revenge (and maybe to forget my cheating ex-husband), but things took a shocking holiday turn when Alexander Drake—Seattle’s hottest billionaire tech CEO—hired me instead of having me arrested!But there's one problem: my tweet calling him out is going viral...And if Mr. Frosty-and-Fine ever finds out I’m the Christmas gremlin behind it, the only thing getting laid (off) this winter will be… me.---"You fired me. Today. On my birthday.""Technically, the board fired you. I just had the pleasure of witnessing the aftermath." I reach for a napkin from a nearby waiter's tray, who looks like he can't decide whether to help or run away. "And I have to say, your exit strategies are... memorable."Someone in the crowd actually laughs. Probably the same person who said "Oh snap!" earlier. I make a mental note to find them later and either fire them or give them a raise.Mackenzie crosses her arms. "And what makes you think I'd want to work for the company that just gutted mine?""Because you care more about the developers than your pride." I meet her gaze, champagne be damned. "And because you know that changing things from the inside is more effective than throwing champagne from the outside. Though I have to admit, the champagne made quite a statement."Her mouth twitches. Just slightly. But it's enough.✔︎ Revenge on a Billionaire Boss ✔︎ Enemies to Lovers Banter✔︎ Workplace Shenanigans✔︎ Meddling Italian Family✔︎ Child-free later-in-life romance✔︎ Characters in their forties (40+)A full-length stand-alone.
