Mommy Issues: Volume 1: A Short Reads Serial Novella

Mother-daughter relationships can be harder than a Cartier diamond, especially when your mom’s your boss.

Olivia Slate is a senior editor at Avant—New York City’s premier fashion magazine. But something’s keeping her down in her high fashion world—her mother, who just so happens to be the editor in chief of Avant.

Her mother’s uncanny knack of making her feel like Repugnant in a world full of Rapunzels has left her needing a hit of something strong—and she might have just found him.

Olivia’s new intern is just the breath of fresh air she’s been needing—he’s handsome, tall, and smart. There are just two problems: 1) He’s terrible at his job and 2) She might be falling for her baby-faced intern.

When her mother demands she get rid of him since he doesn’t fit into their glamorous world, she defies her by keeping him on. But now she has to keep her attraction for him at bay while teaching him the difference between Prada and Forever 21, making sure the fresh-faced fashion assistant piranhas are far from him at all times, and keeping up with the fast pace of New York City in 6-inch designer stilettos.
