The Ego (maniac): A Romantic Comedy

USA Today bestselling author Penelope Bloom brings a brand new hilariously uplifting romance where the chemistry explodes between two total opposites.

Something is very wrong with my downstairs neighbor.
For starters? She appears completely immune to my charms.
It’s odd. Downright suspicious, even.

But beneath those frowns and pantsuits, I know she feels the connection, too.
Why else would she keep filing noise complaints against me?
It’s like a cry for help. A demand for me to show up at her door…

She has the face of a princess and the boring,
laminated agenda life of a future cat-lady.
I can see she needs my skills. Badly.

I happen to have a talent for people — fixing them, persuading them...
pleasing them.

Except my past rears its ugly head at the worst time.
Instead of dating my neighbor, now I’m roped into working with her.
But what’s more romantic than a forbidden office fling?

I’ll find a way to solve my secret little issue and make time for my new office mate.
On the clock, off the clock, on her desk, on my desk…

But first, she needs to agree to go on a date with me.
I think her exact words were “absolutely no way.”

No way? There’s always a way.
There's blackmail, bribery, buckets of charm… Maybe all three?

Full-length office rom com about a grouchy bosswoman who has forgotten how to have fun and her obnoxiously charming neighbor turned co-worker who won’t stop until he wins a smile. Hilarious banter, crackling chemistry, and a gooey happily-ever-after await if he can find a way past her fangs.
