Love & Other Profanities: Book 1 of the Love Series

Publisher Marketing: Syrena Nowakowski doesn't believe in love. To be specific, she avoids it like the plague. For most people, love is a welcome warm and fuzzy emotion that ensures happiness. For Syrena, it's a profane four letter word that brings nothing but misery. Born and raised on the tough streets of Philadelphia, Syrena is no stranger to working hard and she doesn't take shit from anyone. Syrena's main focus is finishing her MBA and pursuing a career in restaurant management in order to fulfill her lifelong ambition of opening her own restaurant. With the support and love from her fabulously gay best friend and doting Polish immigrant grandfather, Renie sets the stage to make her dreams a reality. What Syrena doesn't bank on in her plan is the immediate and overwhelming attraction to her new and much older boss Eric Blake. He is like no one she has ever met and he challenges every rule and impression she has had of love and men. A mutual attraction is one thing neither of them saw coming. Their situation becomes even more complicated when a connection from Syrena's past that is linked to Eric's present is revealed threatening them in ways neither ever anticipated. As a result, Syrena is forced into a decision about Eric that could potentially destroy everything she wants while causing both of their worlds to come crashing down around them.
