Summary

In 1980s suburban Stockholm, Jim Jonsson struggles to make sense of ever-shifting allegiances in the schoolyard and the different kinds of silences that live inside his home. Mostly, he struggles to understand the wildness inside him and the longing to belong. Then there is the mysterious donkey scream that follows him. Sometimes it's a burden, sometimes a strange source of power, but always a reminder of that one thing that can never be escaped.

The Donkey Prince is a tender, sharp, and deeply human coming-of-age story about belonging, longing, and the marks we leave behind, even when we feel invisible.

    She’s my best friend’s sister, and I’m her new boss.  
    There are three things I expect from a good assistant:  
    Punctuality, honesty, and trustworthiness.  
    She says she’s all that. Despite my reservations, I decide to give her a shot. 
    To my surprise, she’s not the nerdy girl I knew when we were young.  
    She follows my every command. 
    She wins over our clients. 
    She charms her colleagues. 
    Including me. 
    Our one-on-one “meetings” are getting hotter—by the copy machine, in the archive room, on top of my desk.  
    We’re putting on a show for the company security cameras, that’s for sure.  
    I’m determined to make her mine. 
    Until I catch her in my office with her hand in my secret drawer. 
    I can’t wait to hear what she has to say for herself.  
    Her job (and a happy ending for us) is on the line. 
    Warning: Read with caution (there’s a grump inside!). From USA Today Bestselling Author Jolie Day comes a new hot romantic comedy in her Kiss a Billionaire series. It’s a standalone romance about a grumpy alpha boss and his sun-shiny assistant. Don’t be late—you don’t want to get on his bad side.
