Title: Hating the Boss
Author: Kristen Granata
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Release Date: September 27, 2019<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Synopsis:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

One night.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s all it was supposed to be.\u00a0
Imagine my surprise when Mr. Sexy in a Suit breezed through the door on the first day of school.\u00a0
Ladies and gentlemen, meet my new boss.\u00a0
Not only does he instantly recognize me, but he accuses me of stealing something valuable from him the morning I walk-of-shamed out of his apartment.\u00a0
When bullying me into a confession doesn\u2019t work, he turns my life into a living nightmare \u2013 as if that will coax me into returning what I supposedly stole.\u00a0
But this is my school, and the only thing I\u2019ll be returning is payback.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Game. On. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s only one problem. I wanted him before I hated him, and even now, a part of me still wants him. Somehow, through all of our fighting, through the anger and the pranks, I think I\u2019m falling in love with the enemy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Hating the Boss Excerpt:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ve been out of my office for most of the day. There must be a full moon coming tonight because the kids in this school are feral. I\u2019ve had to sign off on six conduct reports and three incident reports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At one o\u2019clock, I fall into my comfy rolling chair behind my desk. My door is closed, and I\u2019m hoping to catch up on e-mails and make a dent in this paperwork piled high on my desk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I place my hand on my mousepad, feeling around for the mouse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

What the \u2026?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where\u2019s the damn mouse?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I check under my desk and inside the drawers, but it doesn\u2019t take too long for realization to set in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGoddamnit.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I tear open the door and stomp down the hallway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Raegan\u2019s at the whiteboard in her classroom in the middle of a math lesson. She doesn\u2019t look surprised when I barge into her room and start searching through the drawers in her desk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She does, however, look like a cat who\u2019s been caught with a mouthful of bird.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With a bounce in her step, she waltzes over to me. \u201cGood Afternoon, Principal Waters. Can I help you? What is it that you\u2019re looking for?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Glancing at the class briefly, I give her a hard stare and smile. \u201cYou know exactly what I\u2019m looking for.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI can assure you that I don\u2019t.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I edge closer to her, lowering my lips to her ear. Her warm, sweet scent wafts into my nostrils, and I fight the urge to run my nose along her neck. Focus, Waters. Jesus. <\/em>\u201cGive it back, or things are going to get a lot worse for you around here.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her eyes blaze as they lock with mine. She closes the gap between us, her chest almost pressed flush against me, and she whispers, \u201cYou don\u2019t scare me.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A shiver racks through my body. I can\u2019t decide if I want to strangle her or fuck her right here on her desk. I\u2019m starting to gain a better understanding of people who have a choking fetish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHi, Principal Waters!\u201d Hannah\u2019s waving at me with Joshua at her side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I clear my throat and straighten my tie. \u201cHi, Hannah. Hello, class. I hope you\u2019re all having a great day full of fun and learning.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Raegan chokes back a laugh as she saunters back to the whiteboard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Laugh it up now<\/em>. You won\u2019t be laughing for much longer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

About Kristen Granata:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Kristen<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Kristen Granata is a teacher by day, and an (exhausted) author by night. Known for writing emotional New Adult Romance, she loves creating realistic, flawed characters who struggle through the darkest parts of life and come out stronger on the other side. Kristen is a self-proclaimed “bitter cynic trapped in a hopeless romantic’s body.” Her characters pack a sarcastic punch, make you laugh, make you think, make you ugly cry – and they will always live happily ever after. If you’re a lover of moving, inspirational reads, Kristen’s your girl.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kristen was born in Brooklyn, New York in 1986. She moved to Staten Island with her family and lived there for almost twenty years. There she attended community college and became a teacher. Despite her passion for writing, and despite her professors strongly suggesting she become a writer, she took the more sensible route (bitter cynic, remember?) After going through a difficult divorce when she was only twenty-nine, Kristen returned to writing. The raw story that poured out of her led her to publish her debut novel, Collision, in March of 2018. Soon after in August 2018, the sequel, Avoidance, was published. Her third novel, The Other Brother, released in April 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kristen openly shares her mental health struggles with depression and anxiety with her Instagram following. Her message is a beacon of hope to anyone who is suffering: You are not alone. She delicately weaves this theme into her writing, and demonstrates the ability of love to heal trauma.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When she’s not teaching or writing, Kristen is reading, Instagramming, indulging in her messy love affair with popcorn, and annoying her wife and step-daughters by incessantly singing along to The Greatest Showman soundtrack<\/p>\n\n\n\n
