1, Dear Grumpy Boss by Julia Wolf
I’ve spent the better part of the last few years successfully avoiding my brother’s best friend, Weston Aldrich.
As CEO of Andes Inc, the infuriatingly handsome and incessantly grumpy Weston also happens to be my new boss.
It shouldn’t have been hard to continue avoiding him. After all, he’s on the executive floor and I’m one of many copywriters.
Weston has his own ideas about how things should go between us. He’s in my emails, leaving notes on my desk, and as if that’s not enough, he arranges for me to accompany him on a business trip.
That leads to stolen touches, frenzied kisses, and the undeniable need to work each other out of our systems. That always works, right?
Except now that I know what it feels like to have Weston Aldrich appreciate every inch of my abundant curves, avoiding him is impossible.
2. Hello Billionaire by Kelsie Hoss
After my ex left me high and dry, I need to make things work for my kids. Even if it means getting rejected for jobs over and over again.
When my friend gets me an interview with her boss for an interior design job, I think things are finally looking up. That is until I door ding his Tesla and yell at my kids on the phone during the interview. (For the record, running out of peanut butter does NOT count as an “emergency.”)
But for some reason… he offers me the job.
As a boss, Gage Griffen is intense, driven, and demanding. But under his layers of Armani and grumpy exterior, he’s also generous, kind, and treats my kids the way I wish their dad would.
I need to keep my distance, because this job is our fresh start. And messing up this opportunity could ruin everything, including my heart.
3. Assistant to the Billionaire CEO by Jolie Day
She’s my best friend’s sister, and I’m her new boss.
There are three things I expect from a good assistant:
Punctuality, honesty, and trustworthiness.
She says she’s all that. Despite my reservations, I decide to give her a shot.
To my surprise, she’s not the nerdy girl I knew when we were young.
She follows my every command.
She wins over our clients.
She charms her colleagues.
Including me.
Our one-on-one “meetings” are getting hotter—by the copy machine, in the archive room, on top of my desk.
We’re putting on a show for the company security cameras, that’s for sure.
I’m determined to make her mine.
Until I catch her in my office with her hand in my secret drawer.
I can’t wait to hear what she has to say for herself.
Her job (and a happy ending for us) is on the line.
4. Not the Boss of Me by Kenzie Reed
We all have a list of our dream man’s ideal qualities – even if it’s just in our head.
And okay, mine might be written in swirly script, laminated, and used as a bookmark for my favorite Jane Austen novel.
You know what’s NOT on my list? Arrogant. Impatient. Distractingly sexy. In other words, mega-successful department store magnate Blake Hudson is everything I’m not looking for.
Unfortunately, I may have ruined his life a little bit when I got creative on my first day as a personal shopper. And unless I want to see my new career go up in flames, I’m stuck with the world’s smuggest billionaire until I fix everything I’ve broken.
Find the hottest toy of the season for an overindulged niece? On it. Pose as his date at his company’s annual gala, to fool his obsessed ex – and let him fake-flirt with me all night long? Uh-oh, this could be trouble.
Let Blake see me safely home – and then let him make me see stars? Wait, that wasn’t on my list…
Doesn’t matter. Moving on. I will not let Blake Handsome – I mean Blake Hudson – defeat me with his Ridiculous To-Do List of Impossibility, or his pillow-soft lips, or his rock-hard abs, or the swell of his biceps, or…oops. I seem to have forgotten where I was going with this, but if I can’t remember, I’m shopping for nothing but heartbreak.
5. Inappropriate by Vi Keeland
Terminated for inappropriate behavior.
I couldn’t believe the letter in my hands.
Nine years. Nine damn years I’d worked my butt off for one of the largest companies in America, and I was fired with a form letter when I returned home from a week in Aruba.
All because of a video taken when I was on vacation with my friends—a private video made on my private time. Or so I thought…
Pissed off, I cracked open a bottle of wine and wrote my own letter to the gazillionaire CEO telling him what I thought of his company and its practices.
I didn’t think he’d actually respond.
I certainly never thought I’d suddenly become pen pals with the rich jerk.
Eventually, he realized I’d been wronged and made sure I got my job back.
Only…it wasn’t the only thing Grant Lexington wanted to do for me.
But there was no way I was getting involved with my boss’s boss’s boss. Even if he was ridiculously gorgeous, confident, and charming.
It would be completely wrong, inappropriate even.
Sort of like the video that got me into trouble to begin with.
Two wrongs don’t make a right.
But sometimes it’s twice as fun.
6. Billion Dollar Beast by Olivia Hayle
My brother’s billionaire best friend is my new boss.
The same man who’s hated me for years, you ask? Yep, the very one.
Nicholas Park has the worst reputation in the city. He isn’t a man you befriend—trust me, I’ve tried.
No, he’s made it crystal clear what he thinks of me. Vain. Spoiled. Undeserving. I could probably continue, but then I’d have to ask Nick for his list, and he’d say no.
Courtesy of my brother, Nick reluctantly offers me a consulting job at his firm. He expects me to turn it down, of course.
I accept out of spite.
Three months of arguments and dark stares. Of sudden, stolen kisses at company parties. The heat between us grows, bursting into a wildfire that threatens to consume me whole.
Nick has pushed me away all these years for a reason. For your own good, as he says. I’m not the man for you.
But I refuse to listen.
We’re done playing it safe.
7. Cinderella and the Billionaire Boss by Serenity Woods
When the gorgeous guy I meet in the bar on my last night in Auckland asks if I’d like to go back to his hotel room, I have to think about it.
For a whole second.
Tomorrow, I’m leaving the city.
I’m finally escaping my calamitous life.
So I throw caution to the winter wind.
There’s no downside to a one-night stand with a hot young businessman, right?
After the most intense and passionate night of my life, I do my Cinderella act and slip away.
I’m disappointed to leave him behind, but desperate to start over.
Unfortunately, disaster is determined to follow me across the country.
I can’t find a permanent secretarial position in the whole of Wellington and have to resort to temping.
The one room available for rent in the city is damp, the size of a matchbox, and beneath a herd of elephants.
And my no-strings-attached fling results in a complication I’m totally unprepared for.
Convinced I’ve reached rock bottom, I begin a new temp job.
I walk into the office, and bump straight into my mystery man.
The odd thing is that he doesn’t recognize me.
He seems determined to act as if we’ve never met.
And then he reveals he’s the CEO, and my new boss…
8. Irresistibly Broken by J. Saman
Aurelia Whitlock is an ex-stepsister I forgot long ago. Until she shows up as a design intern at my fashion company.
And that’s the easy part.
The part where she heats my blood, drawing me away from my grumpy, miserable side is another.
She has no business being here. The more I learn about how she got this job, the more perilous things become for me and my company.
I can’t trust her. I can’t fire her. And I definitely can’t claim her full lips with mine.
Now it’s a keep your friends close and your enemies even closer situation.
Except keeping this stunning woman who surprises me at every turn close isn’t as easy as it sounds. She’s a delicious load of sunshine wrapped in smiles and enticing laughter. Her secrets and troubled past make me desperate to swoop in and fix them.
And did I mention the mouth on her? The one that challenges me and argues with me at every turn. The one I can’t stop staring at or fantasizing about.
I’m in trouble. So much trouble.
So where does that leave me?
In one hell of a mess with a woman who has the power to destroy everything. Including what’s left of my heart.
9. Boss in the Bedsheets by Kate Canterbary
Mr. Santillian,
Despite the fact I’m currently living out of your guest room and sleeping with you most nights, I am writing to announce my resignation effective two weeks from today.
In other words, I’ll locate someone who is both obscenely overqualified and willing to devote their days to the handful of tasks you are able to wrench from your perfectionist, micromanaging grip. It may be difficult to find a Nobel laureate genius looking for basic filing work on such short notice, but I’ll do my best.
Don’t worry about your sister’s wedding this weekend. I still plan to attend as your date, assuming you’ve finished hating me by then.
Thank you in advance for your understanding.
Zelda
Ms. Besh,
Resignation not accepted.
I’ll see you at home.
Ash
10. Perfect Chaos by Jodi Ellen Malpas
It starts like any other Monday for Ty Christianson. Fifty laps in his pool, a suave suit, a chat with his mum on the way to his office, dodging countless calls from women, and his faithful yet cynical assistant waiting for him with a coffee. Then a meeting with his business partner and life-long friend, Sal, upends everything. Sal’s hired a new assistant without so much as consulting Ty. That’s a cardinal sin in their world, but it’s the least of Ty’s worries. Sal hasn’t just hired a new personal assistant, he’s hired an absolute goddess. And she’s off limits to Ty.
Lainey Summer drives Ty crazy with her savage beauty, her effortless sexiness, and her unfathomable veneer. She plays her cards way too close to her chest, and doesn’t that just make her more enticing?
Unlucky for Lainey, Ty’s notoriously irresistible.
Unlucky for Ty, Lainey can resist him.
Or . . . can she?
As Ty sets on a mission to break Lainey, an intended conquest becomes a fixation.
And in the process, he’s thrown into perfect chaos.
11. My Boss the Billionaire by Maggie Cole
A one night stand with my infuriatingly gorgeous, arrogant boss… Worst idea ever.
He insisted there wouldn’t be consequences.
He broke his promise.
So I’m trying to avoid him at all costs.
It doesn’t help that his face would make angels lose their virtue and he has a body made for sin …
The chemistry between us is undeniable. I couldn’t resist him if I tried
He’s going to be the rung on my career ladder that breaks… and I’m almost to the top, so an office scandal is the last thing I need.
Plus, Noah’s got secrets. But so do I. And I’m smart enough to keep my secrets and heart out of the mix …
At least I thought I was…
12, A Very Bossy Billionaire by Scarlett Avery
A sinful evening with your boss isn’t the recommended path for career advancement…
In the land of the size zero supermodel, as a plus size woman, I don’t often catch the attention of a man that makes my toes curl.
To add to the decadent encounter, the illegally hot stranger with a sexy British accent and dreamy hazel brown eyes wants to see me again.
Finally, finally, I get to break my one-time coffee date curse.
Standing up Mr. Suit on our second date is the biggest Shakespearean tragedy ever. I didn’t mean to be a no-show. It was out of my control. Losing my phone was the nail in my coffin.
A week later, arriving at my new job and coming face to face with him, counts as one of the worst days of my life… that’s until I discover he’s the boss.
Turns out, my boss doesn’t appreciate being stood up without the courtesy of a call or a text. And boy, the man holds a grudge.
Mr. Suit is determined to make me pay.
Note to self: Hell hath no fury like a boss scorned…
13. Breaking Up With My Boss by Alexis Winter
He’s my billionaire boss from hell—and now he’s my fiancé.
Imagine the devil’s cocky, sexy brother in a three-piece suit.
To say Mondays suck is the understatement of the century.
If there’s one person that can make me hate my very existence,
It’s Matthew Lewis III, Esquire.
He’s the kind of man that makes any sort of rational thought go right out the window—which is exactly what happened when I thought taking a golf club to his car was a good idea.
Did I mention this was after I ripped his prissy ass to shreds and marched out with my middle fingers in the air?
I’m a functioning adult, I swear.
But my victory was short-lived when he shows up at my apartment with an ultimatum.
Either face a felony for destroying his car or pretend for a few short months that I love him.
I just hope he’s ready to give me an Oscar for this performance because pretending to be head over heels for Mr. Prick-On-A-Stick without ending up with a second felony will be a miracle.
But everything changes the moment his wicked tongue takes us from the boardroom to the bedroom and I’m desperately holding on to the last shred of hate I have left for him.
You know how they say there’s a thin line between love and hate?
I think that line might have just disappeared.
14. The Fine Print by Lauren Asher
Rowan
I’m in the business of creating fairy tales.
Theme parks. Production companies. Five-star hotels.
Everything could be all mine if I renovated Dreamland.
My initial idea of hiring Zahra was good in theory, but then I kissed her.
Things spiraled out of control once I texted her using an alias.
By the time I realized where I went wrong, it was too late.
People like me don’t get happy endings.
Not when we’re destined to ruin them.
Zahra
After submitting a drunk proposal criticizing Dreamland’s most expensive ride, I should have been fired.
Instead, Rowan Kane offered me a dream job.
The catch? I had to work for the most difficult boss I’d ever met.
Rowan was rude and completely off-limits, but my heart didn’t care.
At least not until I discovered his secret.
It was time to teach the billionaire that money couldn’t fix everything.
Especially not us.
15. A Deal With the Devil by Elizabeth O’Roark
He might not be the devil, but working under him for six weeks is my idea of hell.
Hayes Flynn is an arrogant jerk known best for his scotch habit and the way he spreads his British “charm” all over Hollywood, never with the same woman twice. He’s the last person I want to work for, except he has a face I can’t look away from, and the longer we’re together, the harder he is to hate. Because under that smug exterior is a heart he doesn’t want to show—one that was badly broken a decade earlier.
A part of me wants to fix it for him before I leave…but can I do it without breaking my own in the process?
16. Bossy Grump by Nicole Snow
You know that awkward moment when your lava-hot boss says “marry me?”
Not for love. Not for real. Not without a mammoth payoff.
Of course, this fortune comes with a ginormous snag—Ward Brandt.
Call me bananas.
I must be short of a full bushel rejecting Chicago’s finest billionaire.
Who knew he was my boss when he crashed my worst date ever?
Oh, but he found out.
He swore I wasn’t fit for Brandt Ideas, chewed me up, and spat me back out.
I vowed I’d prove him wrong—and sabotage a metric ton of his coffee.
Then tragedy strikes, upending his limitless ego.
Guess who needs an image makeover to shore up the family business.
Big fat hell no.
King Snarlypants has a peanut-sized heart and a chip on his shoulder bigger than a redwood.
Find another sucker, Ward-hole.
Even if I agreed, my shields are up.
No magnetic kisses. Zero butterflies. Nix the blushing when everyone gushes over what a “perfect couple” we’d be.
Then again…it’s just ninety days and mama needs a windfall.
What’s one little white wedding lie with a bossy grump built like a god?
17. Taming Mr. Walker by Rosa Lucas
Danny Walker, my big brother’s arrogant, powerful, handsome, and completely unobtainable best friend.
He’s a ruthless tech tycoon, and I take calls from angry clients who can’t reset their passwords.
He lives in a London mansion with holiday homes worldwide, and I rent a room in a flat-share with my best friend and mice.
Our worlds couldn’t be farther apart.
Falling for him is not an option.
Eight years ago, I made the mistake of flirting with him only to be rejected…hard.
To this day, he won’t acknowledge me as anything more than his best friend’s silly little sister.
Which is fine by me because I can’t stand to be around that emotionless CEO.
Regardless of him being the hottest man I’ve ever met.
Now I find out he’s bought the company I work for, making him my boss’s boss’s boss.
And he wants to get rid of me.
Danny Walker is not a man to be messed with.
But perhaps there’s more behind his cold, detached stares than I thought. Stone-faced ruthless CEOs don’t fall for scatty girls like me.
Or do they?
18. The Bosshole by Penelope Bloom
I’d love to say I stood up to the bosshole from hell and walked away unscathed,
but that’d be a lie.
First he got me fired from the job I couldn’t afford to lose. Then he made sure the only position in the city I could get was working as hispersonal assistant.
He runs his office with iron buns and icy glares. Every day is cloudy with a chance of grumpy. Every moment is a test he expects me to fail, but I’ll happily disappoint him.
They say he’s impossible to please? That he never smiles? Well, I don’t run from challenges. I run intothem. And then I make them attend office glitter parties with hot dogs.
Sometimes I also get scared on company flights and crash face first in my boss’ lap during turbulence. Or there was the time I wound up half-naked in his hotel room… But I know one thing for certain. No matter how many times I have to look at his obnoxiously attractive, insufferably arrogant rear end, I won’t break. I won’t even bend.
19. King of Wall Street by Louise Bay
At work, I’m King of Wall Street. The heaviest hitters in Manhattan come to me to make money. They do whatever I say because I’m always right. I’m shrewd. Exacting. Some say ruthless.
At home, I’m a single dad trying to keep his fourteen year old daughter a kid for as long as possible. If my daughter does what I say, somewhere there’s a snowball surviving in hell. And nothing I say is ever right.
When Harper Jayne starts as a junior researcher at my firm, the barriers between my worlds begin to dissolve. She’s the most infuriating woman I’ve ever worked with.
I don’t like the way she bends over the photocopier—it makes my mouth water.
I hate the way she’s so eager to do a good job—it makes my dick twitch.
And I can’t stand the way she wears her hair up exposing her long neck. It makes me want to strip her naked, bend her over my desk and trail my tongue all over her body.
If my two worlds are going to collide, Harper Jayne will have to learn that I don’t just rule the boardroom. I’m in charge of the bedroom, too.
20. Craving the CEO by Iona Rose
I’d never had a one-night stand before and all I wanted to do was celebrate snagging my Interview at my anticipated new job, but he was cute on steroids. And then he went and smiled, and oh my, how much his parents must have spent on his teeth. He was downright edible. I could be exaggerating though, I did have a little too much to drink.To cut the long story short, I went back to his hotel room… and it was a totally ah-mah-zing night. Well, the rest is a bit sordid. One night stands are supposed to be. You creep out, or he does.I stole the march on him and left before he opened those heavenly eyes.I filed the night away in my head under Fantastic Experiences. When I was an old woman sitting on a rocking chair on my porch eating ice cream while my seven or even ten grandchildren played in the front yard, I would recall the night and tell me myself, “Blair, you scored well that night.”Then I got ready for the Interview day at the new job I was celebrating. Thankfully I did get the job.But now you must know where I’m going with this. That’s right, that unforgettably gorgeous man I was going to be congratulating myself over when I was wrinkled and gray, he was my new boss! And even without the alcohol he was climb-worthy, but I should add, he was what any reasonable woman would also call a boss-hole…
21. Just a Bit Bossy by Alessandra Hazard
Boss from hell. Satan personified. A tyrant everyone fears.
Nate Parrish loathes his boss from the moment they meet.
Raffaele Ferrara is probably the most insufferable, domineering man in the world. He doesn’t seem to understand that his personal assistant isn’t actually his personal slave. He expects Nate to do his bidding with a single word. He expects that Nate’s whole life will revolve around him. He expects other, entirely unreasonable things, even though they’re both straight and there’s supposed to be a line your boss should never cross. Apparently, as his personal assistant, Nate has to assist him… personally.
Except Nate knows it’s just a game. His boss is straight. He knows Raffaele just wants to make him angry enough to quit. But Nate has always been too stubborn for his own good, and he’s determined to be the best assistant his boss has ever had, no matter how insane—or inappropriate—Raffaele’s orders may become. Before long, the two men are drawn into a twisted game neither wants to lose.
Nate knows it has to stop. He has to leave his job. It’s not good for his sanity. Except his horrible boss is like a bad addiction he can’t quit. The world feels boring without Raffaele’s intensity, and his focus on Nate might be infuriating… but it’s also something Nate’s starting to realize he can’t live without.
In the legal world, everyone knows my last name. So, when Declan Shaw—the hottest, most ruthless and sought-after litigator in the state—comes in to mentor my class’s mock trial, I decide not to reveal that piece of personal information.
I want a one-on-one with him like I’m any other law student, especially when we go out to celebrate after class.
But the one-on-one ends with us in the alley behind the bar.
With us stripping off our clothes.
With me screaming his name.
It’s desperate-to-have-you, no-holds-barred, downright filthy sex.
And then, he ghosts me, like a complete alphahole.
But a few weeks later, when I walk into The Dalton Group—my family’s law firm—where I’m starting my internship, my new boss is waiting for me.
The man I despise.
The man I can still taste in my fantasies.
Declan Shaw.
23. Pleasing Mr. Parker by Elle Nicoll
They say don’t mix business with pleasure. But I bet they never had to work with Griffin Parker.
He headhunts me to manage the spa in his iconic New York hotel,
The Songbird.
It’s a dream opportunity.
But he’s a nightmare in a designer suit.
We clash spectacularly when he refuses to give up control.
He doesn’t trust me. I don’t like him.
Until one day we manage to work together, and an idea grows wings.
And the things he says…
Oh God.
I’ve spent my life fighting back against the repercussions of pleasing other people. Yet, I find myself doing exactly that.
Because when Mr. Parker is pleased with you the rest of the world drifts away.
He tells me I belong to him. But he doesn’t tell me if I will survive him.
No one can tell me that.
He didn’t get to be one of the most powerful businessmen in New York easily.
He has enemies.
I’m flying straight into a storm.
And I don’t even want to stop myself.
24. Serving the CEO by M.S. Parker
f someone had told me three months ago that I would walk down the aisle to marry my boss, Derrick Thomas, the hot as hell but super demanding and arrogant CEO of Broker Publishing, I would have called them a damn lunatic.
But here I am, all dressed in white, ready to tie the knot with the man of my dreams. Or so you would think.
There’s one problem: Somewhere along the way, I did the dumbest thing possible. I fell in love with him.
When Jessica Ellis lands her dream job as an editor at Broker Publishing in Manhattan, she never expects her life to take a dramatic turn. But when her parents’ bookstore, a cherished family business, is unexpectedly sold, she finds herself in a desperate situation.
After discovering that the new owner is none other than her boss, Derrick Thomas, she takes the matter to him directly. At the risk of losing her dream job, she confronts Derrick, but instead of a pink slip, Derrick offers her a shocking proposal: Marry him for one year as part of a social experiment for his new book about relationships – and how to avoid them. In return, her parents can keep their store.
Will she accept, and if she does, will she be able to keep it strictly professional and not be tempted by her devilishly handsome boss?
I was upgraded to first class on a flight from London to New York.
The food, champagne, and service were impeccable.
The blue-eyed man sitting next to me, even better.
He was suave and intelligent.
We talked and laughed, and something clicked.
Fate took over and the plane was grounded, and we had an unexpected stopover for the night.
With no plans, we made our own.
We danced and laughed our way around Boston and had a night of crazy passion that no woman would ever forget.
That was twelve months ago, and I haven’t heard from him―until today.
I started a new job and met the CEO. You can imagine my surprise to see those naughty blue eyes dance with delight when he saw me across the mahogany desk.
But I’m not that carefree girl anymore. My life has changed, I have responsibilities.
I just got an email.
He wants to see me in his office for a private meeting at 8:00 a.m.
Naughty blue eyes have no place in the workplace.
What kind of private meeting does he have in mind?
26. Faking Ms. Right by Claire Kingsley
Everly Dalton is a walking, talking, martini-drinking dating disaster. Forget kissing frogs. She can’t even get past the first date. But at work, she’s a badass—the longest-running assistant billionaire Shepherd Calloway has ever had. Her coworkers wonder how she handles the big bad wolf—and never gets bit.
Shepherd Calloway isn’t interested in being anyone’s sugar daddy. Tired of women who only want him for his money, he swears off dating, determined to focus on running his empire. Until his gold-digging ex hits him where it hurts, putting him in a difficult position.
His solution—to have Everly pose as his live-in girlfriend—is obviously crazy. But the timing is uncanny. It just so happens Everly needs a favor from her boss—a big and awkward one—and this could ensure everyone gets what they want.
Besides, Everly can totally survive a few months of faux romance. Except there’s a problem. Shepherd is supposed to be a single-minded, unemotional robot boss. Not an actual human with a heart and morning wood. Between the awkward bed-sharing and tingly fake dates, lines are blurring. And as Everly gets to know the real Shepherd, she discovers there’s more to the man behind the bank account.
And faking it gets all too real.
Dominic
I got her fired. Okay, so I’d had a bad day and took it out on a bystander in a pizza shop. But there’s nothing demure about Ally Morales. She proves that her first day of her new job…which just happens to be in my office….And I can’t fire her, because it’s my mother the CEO who hired her…technically, Ally doesn’t work for me, and she makes it clear she doesn’t have to listen to me either.
So maybe her colorful, annoying, inexplicably alluring personality brightens up the magazine’s offices that have felt like a prison for the past year. Maybe I like that she argues with me in front of the editorial staff. And maybe my after-hours fantasies are haunted by those brown eyes and that sharp tongue.
But that doesn’t mean that I’m going to be the next Russo man to take advantage of his position. I might be a second-generation asshole, but I am not my father.
She’s working herself to death at half a dozen dead-end jobs for some secret reason she doesn’t feel like sharing with me. And I’m going to fix it all. Don’t accuse me of caring. She’s nothing more than a puzzle to be solved. If I can get her to quit working here, I can finally peel away all those layers. Then I can go back to salvaging the family name and forget all about the dancing, beer-slinging brunette.
Ally
Ha! Hold my beer, Charming.

30. Boss I Love to Hate by Mia Kayla
My sister says don’t fall for him. I say don’t worry
I’m not about to let some arrogant, young CEO derail my dreams.
Or insult my wardrobe.
I don’t care about his deep brown eyes or the way the muscle moves in his square jaw when he’s pissed.
I won’t fall for his power or how sexy he fills out that suit.
I said I could resist him.
I was wrong…
Raquel Morgan is Trouble.
She’s stubborn, independent, and a fighter.
She has long, dark hair, crystal blue eyes, and freckles…
Freckles.
