Staff Only

Book excerpt: Behind closed doors at The Scarlet Hotel, anything can happen… even breaking every rule. Alpha Emerson Holland has been running his father’s hotel for years. It’s his life, his entire world, and he won’t do anything to jeopardize it. He will eat nothing but jam sandwiches for weeks on end if it means being able to pay his staff when times are tight, and he will work every shift for free if he has to. He will even deny himself what he truly wants most, because being in love with an employee is strictly forbidden. When his father tells him that he must sacrifice just a little more, it’s not even a question. Of course he will—even if it means losing himself. Omega Roland has been in love with his boss for as long as he can remember. He dreams about him every night, fantasizes about him every day, but that’s all it will ever be—a fantasy. The few times he’s gotten the courage to hint that they could be something more, Monsieur Holland has made it perfectly clear that things must remain professional between them. And so far, Roland has listened. Except things have been getting weird around the hotel lately. Clandestine meetings, whispered rumors, and it’s obvious that Emerson is falling apart. Roland is certain he can make his boss feel better—but only if he agrees to break a few rules.
