He might be my boss, but he's not the boss of me. At least that's what I tell my body. Spoiler alert: it doesn't listen.
-Katerina Espinoza, lamenting her fate in the hands of life dismantler, business saboteur, and superfit villain Maximillian Montgomery
Kat is sick and tired of the gray-eyed villain who took over her company and ruined her life four months ago.
Unfortunately, she can't get away from him because he's now her super grumpy and infuriatingly handsome boss.
When he messes with her Jamaican getaway, she unleashes all the bitter sass she'd been holding back. Putting this jerk in his place is worth getting fired for.
But instead of handing her a severance package, Max gives Kat something she never expected: a heart of gold under a body made for sin.
And to her surprise, she has exactly what he's always wanted: passion more tumultuous than the storm that ravages the island resort.
It's too bad a secret threatens to tear them apart. Will her heart be left in shambles, or can they rebuild from this disaster?
This steamy enemies-to-lovers, forced proximity, banter-filled shenanigan of a rom-com is the perfect workplace romance!
That is, if by perfect you mean thoroughly and deliciously inappropriate.
Here's what reviewers are saying about Swim & Slay:
"I became completely obsessed with the storyline from the beginning. Katerina is carefree and dislikes her boss Max, but in the middle of an unanticipated business getaway, they spend a lot of time together. Soon, after, they developed feelings for each other. I love the spice of this story. It was beautifully written! We have another AMAZING romance book by this author!"

"I'd give anything to stand and witness a storm like that, dancing in the rain is one of my favorite things to do! I loved the steam, the spice, and the intimacy of this story, it was so beautifully written! Well done Laura on another amazing story!!"
-Molly, Goodreads
"It only took me 2 chapters to become completely obsessed with the storyline. I loved feeling the anguish of Max when he started to lose control of his feelings and actions around Kat. Watching their relationship unfold was filled with anticipation. 5/5 recommend for those who love enemies to lovers books!"
-Heather, Goodreads
"This was a lovely novella that hit all the right notes. The characters were complex and their chemistry was sizzling."
-Jezabel, Goodreads
"Great chemistry! Very steamy and hot! Good character build-up! I love that Max was very open with his feelings for her. You can feel the tug-of-war within himself and I like that he shows his fears like any other ordinary man. Kat is more independent and uninhibited. If you love being carefree and following your heart, this is a book for you."
