See You Again (Rosebound #1)

Rosie Conley is a newly-hired secretary who’s looking forward to her new life in the city. Until she discovers the mysterious neighbor who lived next door to her. And until she finds herself in a series of misfortunes that almost ended with her dead. Cedric Orion is the new CEO of her company who’s facing his own demons, demons that kept him from connecting with anyone. The two didn’t have a very good first impression on each other. Yet when Rosie is in great danger, his protective nature comes out full force and Rosie finds herself living under the same roof as her boss. Soon, the line between employer and employee blurs and simmering desires grow to a burning passion. Yet a secret casts a shadow over their happiness, threatening to separate the two apart... Not to mention the mad man who seemed dead set on killing her.

FILE.32

Rosie pushed the eject button but the machine wouldn't spew out her money. Someone coughed behind her, possibly Dustin, possibly trying to hide his snicker. She considered kicking the machine then kicking him. But then Cedric stepped forward, causing her to back away automatically, the people he'd been talking to gone, only Michael left.

"What's wrong?" he asked.

She couldn't quite meet his gaze. "Nothing's wrong, Mr. Orion. I'm just trying to buy some coffee but I think something's wrong with the vending machine."

"What's wrong with the coffee in your break room?"

"I wanted something cold."

"I'll have someone look into it," Michael suggested and Rosie hesitated before nodding.

"Thanks. Um, if there isn't anything else you need..."

Cedric closed the distance between them before she could start moving away. His hand was suddenly pressed gentle on her forehead, feeling her skin and she stiffened with shock.
