Total Creative Control by Joanna Chambers & Sally Malcolm
Narrated by Simon Goldhill
Creative Types, Book 1
Sunshine PA, meet Grumpy Boss…
When fanfic writer Aaron Page landed a temp job with the creator of hit TV show, Leeches, it was only meant to last a week. Three years later, Aaron’s still there…
It could be because he loves the creative challenge. It could be because he’s a huge Leeches fanboy. It’s definitely not because of Lewis Hunter, his extremely demanding, staggeringly rude…and breathtakingly gorgeous boss.
Is it?
Lewis Hunter grew up the hard way and fought for everything he’s got. His priority is the show, and personal relationships come a distant second. Besides, who needs romance when you have a steady stream of hot men hopping in and out of your bed?
His only meaningful relationship is with Aaron, his chief confidante and indispensable assistant. And no matter how appealing he finds Aaron’s cute boy-next-door charms, Lewis would never risk their professional partnership just to scratch an itch.
But when Lewis finds himself trapped at a hilariously awful corporate retreat, Aaron is his only friend and ally. As the professional lines between them begin to blur, their simmering attraction starts to sizzle
… And they’re both about to get burned.

Lewis scowled and rubbed his shoulder. “Why can’t people just move the fuck on? First, Mason won’t take my bloody obvious hints, and then, when I tell him in words of one syllable that it’s over, he won’t accept that either. What does he want now?”
Aaron considered that. Carefully, he ventured, “Mason’s quite young, you know, and a bit spoiled. I think this is the first time in his life he’s been the dumpee rather than the dumper, and he honestly doesn’t understand why things ended between you.”
Lewis sent him a sharp look. And well he might. This was straying into forbidden territory. For all the time they spent in each other’s pockets, for all Lewis’s teasing rudeness about Colin, and all their shared jokes, there were some things that they never spoke about—things they had silently agreed fell outside the boundaries of their close but carefully managed working relationship. Personal feelings were definitely one of those things.
At the very least, Aaron was getting uncomfortably close to that boundary.
After a pause, Lewis said, “What’s to understand?” He turned to face Aaron, leaning his hip against the counter, displaying that fine, broad chest that constantly battled the confines of his shirt. Shrugging, he said, “We fucked a lot. And then we stopped. It was fun while it lasted, but… it was just sex.”
Aaron kept his eyes fixed on Lewis’s face, avoiding the tantalising glimpse of tanned skin at the open collar of his shirt. “Yeah, well, not everyone sees sex that way. Mason clearly doesn’t. So you need to explain it to him. He won’t like it, but at least then he might understand and stop pestering you.”
“Ugh.” Lewis sighed in surrender. “Fine. I’ll try to call him tonight. I thought we were both adults though, not angsty fucking teenagers who have to fucking talk about everything.”
“Talking is actually the adult thing to do,” Aaron said, smiling despite himself. After a pause he added lightly, “So is apologising.” But he knew Lewis was practically allergic to the word Sorry. He’d far rather buy someone an expensive gift than make a simple apology to them. Especially if he didn’t actually mean it. Lewis would say it was because he hated bullshit, but it was more than that. He hated dishonesty.
Lewis glared at Aaron but said nothing.
Aaron lifted an eyebrow. “And on that note, shall I put in ten minutes with Toni, so you can say sorry for yelling at her like that? Or shall I just go straight to HR and ask them to book you in for another Appropriate Behaviour in the Workplace session?”
“Bloody hell.” Lewis turned back to the tea, fishing out the teabag and adding milk. “All right, stop nagging. I’ll go and see Toni now.”
“Good. Take her a coffee. And some cake.”
“Where the hell am I going to find cake?”
“Grinder is two minutes away.” Aaron snagged the tea before Lewis could add sugar, keeping it for himself. “She’d love a latte and a slice of Double Choc Fudge cake.”
Lewis glowered at him. “You know, sometimes I wonder whether you know who the boss is around here.”
“Oh,” Aaron said, sipping his tea. “I know.”
