Edited by: Hot Tree Editing Cover Model: Blaze A Photographer: Wander Aguiar Cover design: CT Cover Creations Blurb I play by my rules. My code. My police handler thinks differently, but little does he know the extent of my hacking skills. I’m a billionaire because of them. But the case he assigns me tests me in ways I wasn’t expecting. The brief was simple—study a university subject on investigative techniques. Turns out, it’s anything but easy. My professor is an a-hole. I hate him almost on sight. I want to damage his beautiful face, especially because of the lies he’s telling about my late mother. My handler believes him, and my oldest friend Flynn is infatuated with him. I will prove my mother’s innocence. I will put his accusations to rest once and for all. But that means working closely with both him and Flynn to prove him wrong. My professorhole won’t know what hit him. ♥♥♥♥♥ Billionaire Boss Girl is a contemporary reverse harem / polyamorous series. There is no need for the leading lady (or her men) to choose in order to find their HEA. Professorhole is book ONE of THREE in this slow-build, high-heat new adult romantic suspense series.

For Dad We should have had more time with you. But we cherished every moment we had and every memory we made. You’ll always be in our hearts. Acknowledgements These last few months have been some of the hardest that I’ve been through. But I’ve learnt so many important lessons, and that’s the way Dad would have wanted it. He lived his life to the fullest. He volunteered his time freely for so many good causes and helped his community, friends, and family wherever he could. He would have given you the shirt off his back if you were in need. He loved his family and friends dearly and was blunt to a fault—if he didn’t like it, you knew about it! He left behind a gaping void in our world. But it just proves how important he was to all of us. This is the first story I’ve written without Dad. Even though I didn’t tell him about it, I know he knows about it. You were the first man I loved and you were always my superhero. Thank you for looking down on us. I’m so very grateful for the people in my life who make my stories possible. My family—my gorgeous husband and kids, Mum, my cousin, aunts, my best friend, Robyn (who I count as a sister), Kariss Stone, and Mum’s girlfriends—all of you were and still are the rocks that I needed so badly. Words will never be enough. McKinley Krantz and the team at Hot Tree Editing, thank you for weaving your magic, your encouragement, and your enthusiasm.
