A Spicy STEMinist Rom-Com About Taking Risks and Finding Love

Thirty-three-year-old Megan Slater is a software developer at what should be her dream job. With a toxic boss undermining her and a cheating ex who left her a million dollars in debt, her self-esteem is at rock bottom.

In the midst of a Bosshole meltdown, she crosses paths with Alexander Stalton—a broad-shouldered, chin-dimpled twenty-four-year-old who witnesses her latest scolding. When he demands she stand up for herself, Megan doesn't know whether to be inspired or insulted.

Determined to salvage her confidence, Megan and her friends craft her a list of life goals scribbled on the back of a restaurant menu. Although Megan and Alexander's chemistry is off the charts, he doesn't make the cut. Not only is he too young, but he also happens to be the son of the very boss who's been making her life miserable.

When her boss crosses a line and her ex calls her boring in bed, Megan realizes she's tired of playing it safe. She's ready to be brave and grab life by the crotch nuggets. And when Alexander offers to be her 'student' so she can practice asking for what she wants in the bedroom, Megan agrees.

But falling for her boss-to-be wasn't on the menu, and being with him could destroy her career.

What Beta Readers are Saying

I found myself with a huge grin on my face while reading this. Their banter is fantastic, and the pacing is great. I already have a crush on Alex, lol.

The premise of the story of an older woman with a younger man is wonderfully fitting with the current trend, especially with women's economic situation on the rise.

Last chapter? I have mixed feelings about this! I'm so happy to read the final chapter, but I wish I could keep reading about Megan and Alex forever!

Some romance stories are about love solving all your problems, but I really like that this one was about Megan learning how to solve her own problems, achieve her dreams, and then accept love into her life when she was ready.
