Rule #4 Never Be A Grumpy Boss
(2025)(The fourth book in the Rules for Dating a Single Mom series)
A novel by Em Tate
Elliot Kane has it all—money, power, and the ability to glare anyone into submission. But his perfectly controlled life takes a hit when his dependable assistant goes on maternity leave and leaves her replacement: Harper Joy.
Harper’s name says it all. She’s a whirlwind of cheer, optimism, and positivity—a stark contrast to Elliot’s brooding silence. As a single mom, Harper juggles PTA meetings, bedtime stories, and baking cupcakes, all while ensuring Elliot’s demanding schedule stays on track. To her, every problem has a solution, even if it means adding a touch of sparkle to his corporate gloom.
Elliot isn’t sure what’s worse: Harper’s incessant chattiness, her relentless kindness, or the fact that her sunny outlook is melting the icy walls he’s spent years building. But when Harper’s past comes knocking and her picture-perfect optimism wavers, Elliot realizes he might need to step into the role of protector and—dare he admit it?—partner.
With office pranks, heartwarming surprises, and a hefty dose of chemistry, Elliot and Harper must navigate their way from workplace adversaries to something much sweeter. Will Elliot risk the chaos of Harper’s world for a chance at love? Or will he retreat to the safety of his perfectly grumpy bubble?
A laugh-out-loud romcom filled with heart, humor, and the reminder that sometimes, all it takes is a little sunshine to chase the clouds away.
*This sweet series will be filled with touching family moments, heartwarming connections, and the magic of finding love when you least expect it. Coming May 2025.
