a wild last boss appear light novel

After a traumatizing experience, Lucinda Perry has spent most of her life shying away from people, relationships, and anything remotely wild. But when the overachieving introvert finally lands the long-awaited promotion just days before her birthday, she vows to break her own rules for once. Her goal? To let loose, live a little, and maybe even tick off the boldest item on her “dare-to-do” list: a one-night stand. A new city. A new beginning. And a birthday night that doesn’t go quite as planned. At a downtown club, Lucinda meets Thomas Hank, a dangerously charming stranger who seems to read her like an open book. When he catches a glimpse of her list, he playfully offers to help her fulfill that one daring wish. Sparks fly, and what was meant to be a single reckless night turns into something far more complicated when she meets him again the next day as her next door neighbor and the day after as her official driver. But Thomas isn’t who he seems. Burned by women who only wanted his fortune, he’s sworn to hide his true identity until he finds someone genuine, who wants him, not his name or money. Lucy’s innocence draws him in, but his secret and her past threatens to destroy the love blooming between them before it even begins. Lucy is determined never to marry or have children. Tom is determined to change her mind.
