I have one simple rule: no boyfriends until graduation. I'm too close to my goal of landing a full ride to college to get distracted now. Besides, I blend in better at the skate park than I do in the hallowed halls of Savage Academy, a boarding school for the rich and overprivileged, so staying away from guys hasn't been a problem.

Word of advice: Don’t insult your new boss to his face within the first ten minutes of meeting him. Whoops. Sure, I am a budding designer with a lot to learn. But he’s a manager who’s too grumpy for his own good—even if he does have dimples and a cute dog. So when I find him drinking alone at a bar and blackmail him (whoops again) into being my friend, I realize that may not have been the smartest decision. Zero for two. We both have mouths that could kill. My only problem is that I can't stop picturing what else he can do with his, or whether my job is worth risking to find out.

Except now he’s my hot bartender, complete with a silver-fox beard, a twinkle in his eye, and looking a lot like my one true kryptonite: jingle belling Santa Claus.

I’m an impulsive kind of girl. Like, ‘buy an old van to renovate and live in it’ kind of impulsive. So, when my bar game of kiss-a-random-guy-to-make-engaged-ex-jealous lands me in apartment floor sex with Harry, it’s par for the course.
