She wants a knight in shining armor. What she gets is a deadline. Justine's old boss will not be giving her another advance to pay the rent. It's not that he chose to quit enabling her, it's that he woke up kind of dead. And now his stiff grandson has taken over The Ether Gazette! So what if Macallan has a dimple? And pecs? And smells like heaven? He's a tyrant! For the first time in her career, Justine has a boss with the one thing she's never faced before: expectations. Not only does he plan to change the newspaper from a chatty blog to a serious organization that wins Pulitzers, he seems to think Justine has the makings of a real journalist. It's a tall order for someone who is more comfortable writing "The Top 10 Never-Be-Late Hacks You Need to Know!" With Justine's career in the balance and her longsuffering roommate moving out, she's got just two weeks to prove herself or be fired. It can't hurt to outsource an article or two, can it? Just to be on time? Soon, Justine is tangled in a web of deceit, expense, and last-minute disasters. And the trouble is, she's finding that it feels good to live up to the potential Macallan sees in her. She'd hate for him to find out what's really going on. Even if those butterflies in her stomach when he's around are strictly because he holds her career in his shapely, strong, manly hands. Do As I Say is a laugh-out-loud clean and wholesome romance for our times, full of Ramen noodles at midnight, part-time gigs, and student debt. If you like Sophie Kinsella minus the steam, ditzy heroines, and sweet endings, you'll love this first book in the Career Misfits Clean Romantic Comedy Series. Dear Reader, I write characters who are hot messes because, to be honest, I'm a bit of a hot mess. If you like heroines whose lives are in order, my books are probably not for you. But if you feel like you too are flailing in life, welcome aboard. We love having you along for the ride.
