MISS MANAGEMENT
*She can manage an empire. But can she manage falling in love?*
Samantha Ray Lopez doesn't do distractions.
At thirty-four, she's wealthy, intimidating, ridiculously competent, and perfectly content keeping her personal life separate from business. She's the kind of boss who can silence an entire conference room with one raised eyebrow.
Then there's Ma. Alexandra Reyes.
Twenty-nine. Regional Operations Manager. Smart, hardworking, sarcastic, and exceptionally good at handling workplace disasters.
Her own life, however?
**Still under maintenance.**
Their first memorable encounter isn't exactly memorable for the right reasons.
Alex nearly gets hit by a car.
Sam saves her.
Alex embarrasses herself.
And unfortunately, her terrifying boss remembers everything.
What follows is a series of unfortunate encounters, impossible deadlines, unexpected conversations, and an increasingly complicated professional relationship.
Because beneath Alex's cheerful personality lies a past she'd rather forget.
And behind Sam's perfectly controlled exterior is a woman whose life has never been entirely her own.
As family expectations, buried secrets, and dangerous corporate affairs begin threatening everything they've worked for, the two women find themselves drawn into each other's worlds.
The problem?
**One has spent her life building walls.**
**The other has spent hers pretending she doesn't need anyone.**
And neither is prepared for what happens when those walls begin to fall.
After all, Samantha Lopez can manage difficult employees, multimillion-peso decisions, and an entire business empire.
But managing her feelings for one particularly troublesome regional manager?
**That might just be her biggest management failure yet.**
