She’s the girl he left behind. He’s the boy she tried to forget. But after seven years apart, one passionately reckless night will tie them together forever…
As teenagers, Callie Ironside and Lewis Adair were inseparable. So much so, Lewis still can’t work out where it all went horribly wrong, or why he’s spent the last seven years in London away from the love of his life.
Callie knows exactly where it all went wrong and while she tried to move on—learning pastry techniques in Paris and dating French men—returning home to Ardnoch to work in her mother’s bakery, only reminds her of the future she lost with Lewis.
But when a visit to London brings them unexpectedly together, the passion, pain and animosity between them leads to a one-night stand. For Lewis, it’s the beginning of winning Callie and his life in Ardnoch back. For Callie, it’s a mistake that’s shaken up the devastating heartbreak she fought hard to forget. However, Lewis is determined to fight for her, and proves it when their night together results in more than just unresolved feelings.
As they come to grips with impending parenthood and the mistakes they’ve both made, Callie and Lewis will not only have to decide to fight for a love that has endured so many years apart, but a mysterious adversary who seems intent on destroying the future they’re building together.

Title: The Boss + The Maid = Chemistry Author: Louise Bay
Genre: Contemporary Romance Tropes: Boss/Employee, Maid/Hotel Guest Grumpy/Sunshine, Age Gap, Secret Billionaire Release Date: August 8, 2024
BLURB
A grumpy, reclusive billionaire’s identity is discovered by a maid. And their chemistry is undeniable.
When I get hit on by the older guy on the next barstool with a dirty grin and an expensive suit, I don’t realize I’m about to have a one-night stand with the man I desperately want to work for. I’m determined to kickstart my career in tech.
After a night that leaves my world (and body) shaken, I start my summer job housekeeping in a five-star hotel. As I dust and polish the Park Suite, in walks Mr. Dirty Grin—now with an icy glare.
Why is the man from last night who was so charming (and good with his tongue) so furious this morning? As I piece together the puzzle, I discover the guest in the Park Suite is none other than Ben Fort, the reclusive tech mogul I want to work for.
Ben has kept his identity hidden for years and he wants to know how I figured him out overnight.
As he questions me, I don’t waste time telling him he’s a (super-hot) grump who needs to lighten up—and give me a job.
I don’t want to sleep my way to the top, and he doesn’t trust me. But neither of us can resist the sizzling sparks that fly every time I fluff his pillows.
International, Wall Street Journal, and USA Today bestselling author, Louise Bay writes contemporary romance novels that make you laugh – the kind she likes to read.
Ruined by the bonk-busters of the eighties, Louise was inspired by Judith Krantz and Jackie Collins, but wants to be Emily Henry when she grows up.
Louise loves the rain, RHOBH, London, days when she doesn’t have to wear make-up, hanging out with her kid, elephants and champagne (not necessarily in that order).

If I can get him to stay married to me for the next year, the vineyard will be mine, and my backstabbing sister will get exactly what she deserves…absolutely nothing. After that, we can go our separate ways and never speak of this drunken mistake again.

You’d think nearly dying trying to get out of a too-tight gown in a dressing room and being saved by a strong, competent man was a good thing.
Not so much, though, when that strong, competent man is your ex. Your secret ex.
And the reason you need a gown is because you’re part of a charity auction.
The charity auction where he gets into a bidding war to win you.
And now, because you’re one of few female coaches in professional baseball, and he’s the captain of the local professional hockey team, and he paid a ridiculous sum of money for you…
The entire city is shipping you. You can’t leave your apartment without getting a knowing wink from strangers. Your bosses want to use the publicity to have you jointly launch a new community outreach program.
That’s bad enough. It truly is.
But even worse?
Duncan Lavoie, the green-eyed, curly-haired, dimple-cheeked, hot as lava hockey player wants a second chance. And he’ll play dirty to get it.
The Secret Hook-Up is a laugh-out-loud romcom featuring the hot-as-sin hockey captain of the Copper Valley Thrusters, the Copper Valley Fireballs’ lady baseball coach he never got over, and a misbehaving formal gown. It stands alone and comes complete with a happily-ever-after.
Pippa Grant = my happy place and IMO there’s no place happier than the Thruster or Fireballs world UNLESS it’s a Fireballs/Thrusters crossover world!!!!
Duncan and Addie were👌🏻perfect. The banter, the antics, the crazy instance where they meet face to face again… honestly, that dressing room scene…. I felt her pain!!!!
I understood Addie’s hesitance and how closed off to a relationship she was initially. She’s in a predominantly male sporting field and, regardless of how well she’s doing or what positive things people say, she still doubts that there’s security in her role or that she’s truly wanted for who she is.
Duncan was Addie’s biggest champion. He didn’t want her to change and he was so supportive of her and everything she was trying to achieve. I loved how he thought about her and that he saw ‘her’ not the coach she let everyone else see.
This pair (and their respective team/teammates) had me laughing at their antics. Both of them had so many people rooting for them and there to support them.
‘Daddie’ had so much chemistry, heat and passion but it was the other moments between them that showed how fabulous they could be together.
A fantastic read. Another hit from Ms Pippa.
AUTHOR BIO
Pippa Grant wanted to write books, so she did. Before she became a USA Today and #1 Amazon bestselling romantic comedy author, she was a young military spouse who got into writing as self-therapy. That happened around the time she discovered reading romance novels, and the two eventually merged into a career. Today, she has more than 30 knee-slapping Pippa Grant titles and nine written as Jamie Farrell. When she’s not writing romantic comedies, she’s fumbling through being a mom, wife, and mountain woman, and sometimes trying to find hobbies. Her crowning achievement? Having impeccable timing for telling stories that will make people snort beverages out of their noses. Consider yourself warned.
A little white lie never hurt anyone . . . or so I thought.
One fake date and we’d go our separate ways, at least that’s how hockey’s hottest golden boy—Nixon Sinclair—convinced me this would work. But it turns out, Nix had other plans.
Now I’m sneaking around with my brother’s teammate, refusing to admit he’s everything I want but never knew I needed.
Irresistibly dirty mouth—Check.
Panty-meltingly possessive—Check. Check.
Toe-curling lessons in the bedroom—Check. Check. Triple Check.
But when fun leads to feelings, our little white lie starts to feel a little too real.
And if I’m not careful, I’ll be the one hurt in the end.
