Perfect Chaos - Jodi Ellen Malpas
Ty and Lainey meet in the neighborhood bar before she starts working for his partner at their company. He finally feels the "ping" his Dad told him about that he would get when he meets "the one".
There is a non fraternization policy at work and they both appear to be major players.... It definitely makes for a LOT of drama.
The book is told only in Ty's POV...
The hero is head over heels for the heroine. The funny thing is that Ty is pretty clueless. He has a hard time dealing with his feelings and has a hard time accepting what they could be.
