Side Piece by Kelly Kay

Tess:
Absolutely married to my job of writing happily ever afters. I love everything about my committed relationship with words. I feed it, and it feeds me, and we’re very happy together. The parameters of our relationship are cut and dry, black and white. And then Alex showed up with his gorgeous crooked smile and shaded everything gray, and now I don’t know if I can ever turn the page back. I’ve never thought I’d be the girl who swoons. He scares me to death.

Alex:
I am utterly addicted to this woman. Beautiful, beguiling, Tess is a drug taunting me to have one more hit. My life is a deep dive into projects with no regard for anything and anyone else. Work is all there is. My friends and I built this media company from nothing. Making a difference, being a political pundit, is what I was put on earth to do. Tess is the perfect woman for me, but I just don’t have the luxury of falling for her. Sleeping with her, absolutely. But I don’t have the bandwidth for love.
