Chapter One
“Dude, if you keep staring at the boss like that, you’re going to get fired. That is, if you’re lucky.”
I glanced at Cole and asked, “And if I’m not lucky?”
“Then his mafia husband is going to put a bullet in your brain and toss your body in a
dumpster,” my coworker said as he stuffed a backpack in his locker.
“His husband isn’t in the mafia anymore. And besides, he was never that kind of gangster,” I
pointed out as I snuck another look at Jamie, my ex-boyfriend. He and his new husband Dmitri were

“Yeah, ok. I’ll work on that.” I gave him a little half-smile.
My coworker grinned at me, his brown eyes sparkling behind his glasses as he tied an apron
around his hips. “Good. Now hurry up, beefcake. The bar opens in ten minutes,” he said as he left
the employee dressing room.
And just because I was an idiot, I snuck another look at Jamie and Dmitri over my shoulder.
They were kissing now, deeply, tenderly. It made my heart ache. Especially because it reminded me
