Domini Keane takes what is meant to be a brief, temporary post as personal assistant to Jack Wellby, a wealthy entrepreneur and unrepentant playboy who is as arrogant and infuriating as he is magnetic. The two strike sparks from the start, their working relationship charged with friction and an attraction neither will admit. When the assignment ends, Jack surprises her with the offer of a permanent position, forcing Domini to weigh the prospect of staying close to a man who unsettles her against her better judgment. As they continue to clash and circle one another, the line between professional sparring and genuine feeling grows harder to hold. A short, brisk Harlequin Mills and Boon romance, it leans on the familiar pleasures of the workplace pairing: a confident, exasperating hero, a capable heroine determined not to be charmed, and the slow surrender of two strong-willed people who keep telling themselves the attraction means nothing. Light and quick, it delivers the genre's reliable arc of antagonism softening into love.
