My Hot Boss is My Fiancé synopsis
Marla Quintell never planned to work for a man like Ives Mercer—the notoriously cold CEO of Mercer House, a media conglomerate with more power than most governments. But when her temp job accidentally lands her as his executive assistant, she’s pulled into a world of high-pressure meetings, airtight schedules, and a boss who seems more machine than man. Ives doesn’t like surprises, interruptions, or Marla’s refusal to just follow orders. She doesn’t like his silence, his rules, or how he sees right through her.
But when a secret manuscript he ghostwrote under a pseudonym goes viral, the company is thrown into chaos—and Ives needs someone he can trust to keep it under control. That someone, against all odds, is Marla. Thrust into late-night strategy sessions, press appearances, and an escalating PR storm, she’s not just his assistant anymore—she’s also the solution on paper: his fake fiancée.
As sparks fly behind closed office doors, both must decide what lines they’re willing to cross when work gets personal.

Marla’s POV
I was supposed to spend my Monday answering phones on floor twelve. Smile, forward calls, maybe fake a cough by Friday and get paid for doing the bare minimum. That was the plan when Dana, my cousin, offered me the temp job; easy money, zero stress. Instead, I was ten minutes late, underdressed, and about five seconds from quitting. I wasn’t supposed to be in a private elevator headed for the thirty-seventh floor of Mercer House. The executive floor. Yet, there I was.
I step out of the elevator, heels clicking way too loud for comfort. The air up here is different. Thinner. More judgmental. There’s no welcome desk. Just silence, glass walls, and anxiety. A guy at a sleek side desk glances up and immediately frowns. “Can I help you?”
“Yeah, uh… I’m temping today? Dana Quintell from HR sent me.”
He blinks. Picks up his earpiece. “She’s here.”
Then he stands and waves me toward a huge black door like I’m a stray cat. “Take it through there. He’s expecting you.”
I hesitate. “You sure?” He’s already back in his chair and didn’t even bother to respond.
Anyway, I pushed the door open and it was the biggest mistake of my life. Inside is the coldest room I’ve ever walked into, and it looks… empty. There were no photos, no other clutter. Just a man at a desk, fingers tapping a keyboard.
