Engaging the Boss (Heirs of Damon)
“At age eleven, she’d been a little chubby with bushy red hair and dead white skin.
Instead of resenting her neighbor for the unkind words, Sarah had cried because she’d known they were true.
Seventeen years later, she knew she shouldn’t eavesdrop on her boss’s phone conversation.
He hadn’t closed the door to his office, however, and the only way not to hear was to cover her ears or leave the laboratory.
Sarah did neither. She tried to focus the DNA sequence projected on one of the lab’s high-en...d monitors, but she couldn’t help but listen.
Her boss, Jonathan Damon, was on the phone with his corporate mogul uncle, and she could hear a tense note in his voice. He’d never said a word to her about his notorious family, but she knew he wasn’t close to them. She also knew this conversation wasn’t a good one.

Jonathan’s tone was overly patient, as if he were reining in his temper.MoreLess
