Not My Boss Anymore : A Vanguard Office Romance (Vanguard Office Romances Book 1)

Not My Boss Anymore

Lucas Hale is Sloane Hart’s boss.
That’s the problem.

Sloane is ambitious, sharp, and very good at her job at Vanguard Marketing. She challenges ideas, pushes back when it matters, and doesn’t make reckless personal decisions—especially not ones involving the controlled, infuriatingly precise man who signs her performance reviews.

Lucas doesn’t blur lines. He protects his team, Vanguard, and his reputation with the same ruthless discipline. Wanting Sloane was never part of the plan.

Until a work conference changes everything.

What happens in Seattle is supposed to stay contained. Temporary. Professional-adjacent.
But once they’re back home, reality crashes in—with office politics, watchful coworkers, and a very real power imbalance they can’t ignore.

Lucas is determined to protect Sloane’s career.
Sloane refuses to be treated like a liability.
And neither of them is prepared for how hard it is to pretend nothing happened.

Sneaked glances. Closed-door meetings. Near misses that feel anything but accidental.
The tension keeps building, the stakes keep rising, and one truth becomes impossible to avoid:

If this is going to work, he can’t be her boss forever.

Not My Boss Anymore is a spicy, witty workplace rom-com featuring a controlled MMC, a confident FMC, forbidden attraction, sharp banter, and enough heat to make office blinds a very necessary invention
