Carlie James did not leave Atlanta and move across the country to fall for her assistant.
She came to Los Angeles to prove herself. As New Genex's new Channel Marketing Manager, Carlie is determined to succeed in an industry that has spent years underestimating women like her. The last thing she needs is Michael, her attentive, dangerously attractive assistant seeing through her defenses and making professionalism nearly impossible.
When a painful betrayal from Carlie's past threatens the life she is rebuilding, Michael becomes the steady presence she never expected. But giving in to their growing attraction could cost them their careers, their reputations, and everything they have worked for.
Walking away may cost them even more.
