Married to the Boss: A Hidden Romance by Ava Green

What happens when your greatest secret becomes your most dangerous game? Lumma finds herself in an unexpectedly precarious position when she lands a job as the secretary to the enigmatic Adam Hills, CEO of a powerful corporation. Little does Adam, or anyone else in the office, suspect that Lumma is actually Lucas's wife, a truth she desperately guards. Lumma's intelligence and intuition immediately impress Adam, leading him to select her from a pool of candidates. But her swift ascent doesn't go unnoticed, stirring envy and suspicion among her colleagues. John, a particularly spiteful coworker, voices his doubts about Lumma's qualifications, prompting her to defend herself and subtly remind him to respect Mr. Hills. Adding to the pressure, Jane, a seasoned employee, cautions Lumma against developing any romantic feelings for her boss, emphasizing the importance of maintaining a professional distance. As Lumma and Adam work closely together, their professional relationship blossoms. Lumma anticipates his needs with remarkable accuracy, proving herself an invaluable asset. During a crucial meeting with a potential partner, Leonard, Lumma's quick thinking and seamless coordination with Adam leave a lasting impression. Their undeniable chemistry, however, continues to fuel the office gossip and Lumma's internal conflict. The stakes rise when Adam receives a phone call from Catherine, who refers to Lumma as her "granddaughter-in-law" and insists that Adam bring her home. The revelation hangs in the air, threatening to expose Lumma's carefully constructed facade. Adam, oblivious to the truth, seeks advice on how to impress a young woman, unaware he's already married to her. Leonard, sensing the significance of Adam's hidden marriage, mentions the extravagant "Diamond Star" necklace Adam purchased, possibly as a gift. Dismissing Leonard's input, Adam turns to Lumma herself, seeking her insight into what a young girl might desire. Lumma is trapped between her growing feelings for Adam, her determination to keep her identity secret, and the mounting pressure from outside forces. Will Lumma confess her true identity and risk everything, or will she continue to play a dangerous game of deception, with her heart and future on the line?
