About TRIPPED OUT:
Where there’s smoke…
Stirling Gradsky abandoned the corporate rat race for a more laidback lifestyle. So it’s ironic she’s stuck working with a hard-bodied, know-it-all scientist who treats her like a stoner instead of a stone cold business woman capable of running a large scale cannabis operation. Dr. Hot and Tattooed with the big…brain needs to stop sampling their product; he’s under the half-baked idea that he’s the boss.
Dr. Liam Argent’s doctorate isn’t in chemistry, but from the moment he meets his sexy new coworker, there’s enough heat between them to short out all the lights in the grow house. First item on his agenda? Clearing up the sassy, blunt blonde’s hazy notion that she’s in charge.
Sparks fly as their attraction blazes. But can they weed out their differences without getting burned?

Excerpt:
The
first rule of being a prankster?
A
killer poker face.
And
StirlingGradsky had that down pat.
The
second rule of being a prankster?
Learn
your opponent’s weak spots.
Maybe
Stirling didn’t have that rule down entirely. Her pranking prey, Dr. Liam
Argent, remained as much a mystery now as he’d been when he’d waltzed into High
Society ten months ago and declared himself emperor.
Okay,
maybe not emperor, but he definitely acted like the laboratory was his private
kingdom.
His
appearance hadn’t been a surprise. Stirling’s brother Macon, her business
partner in High Society—a cannabis operation that included a retail store, a
medical dispensary, and an onsite grow house—had informed her that he’d hired a
guy from California, a cannabis expert, to work in the lab.
After
dealing in euphemisms regarding all things cannabis related, Stirling believed
“the lab” was Macon’s shorthand for the grow house. She imagined the California
dude to be an older version of the iconic stoner character Spicoli from Fast Times at Ridgemont High.
Turned
out she had been wrong on both accounts.
Macon
had indeed meant he’d created a full-blown, state of the art laboratory,
complete with a beefed up security system for their resident cannabis expert.
And the “dude from California” turned out to be Dr. Liam Argent, stuffed shirt
extraordinaire, with advanced degrees up the wazoo.
The
man drove her crazy.
Crazy.
From
day one he’d refused to tell her what he was working on in his fancy-ass lab.
When she’d complained to Macon about Dr. Argent’s secretive manner, he’d
instructed her to leave Dr. Argent alone.
Her
brother may as well have waved a red flag in front of her.
She’d
tried being friendly…to no avail.
She’d
tried being bossy…to no avail.
She’d
tried every “employee relations improvement” tactic she’d learned in her years
in the corporate world…to no avail.
Hence
her oh-so-mature decision to prank him until he cracked. She’d worked with men
like him before. At least if you got them angry enough, they’d yell at you,
which nine times out of ten led to an actual conversation.
Except
Dr. Argent hadn’t shown the slightest chink in his armor. In fact, he’d joined
in on her prankfest and one-upped her on occasion.
Which
was why today’s prank ranked as one of the better ones he’d pulled on her.
It was also why Stirling was massively annoyed.
