“And here I thought you were turning over a new leaf.”
“Not if it means I have to then eat the leaf,” I countered.

Love, Hate, and Terrible Dates
A Romantic Comedy

The Manhattan Svensson Brothers - Book 4

I’m twenty-three years old. I can’t be some billionaire’s ward.

Even if he is hot.

It’s a bad day when your boyfriend leaves you for someone with boobs and a butt faker than her Instagram pictures.

It’s an even worse day when a hot guy in a suit shows up in your bedroom and tells you that you’re his ward.

And it’s a complete disaster when your ex sues you and threatens to take your corgi.

I have no alternatives—I have to throw myself to Carl Svensson’s mercy like a wretched Victorian romance heroine in order to save my dog.

I wish all I had to do was lounge around a haunted mansion in a pretty dress. Instead, Carl is forcing me to run outside in the morning, clean my apartment, and finally do something about my credit card debt. Yes, I am side-eyeing all of this.

Carl’s in for a shock of his own, though. I’m a free-spirited, art-loving girl with tattoos, multicolored hair, and piercings. Everywhere. *Wink emoji!*

An uptight, suit-wearing investment banker is not going to change me. But it’s a battle of wills that will determine whether he makes me a respectable person or not.

Carl is going down!

But not down on me…except for that one time…
