Ophelia Stark is the backbone of Bettendorf Enterprises. As the sharp-witted, impeccably organized P.A. to the company's founder, she's spent years ensuring the multi-billion dollar empire runs like a well-oiled machine. When her boss announces he's taking an indefinite sabbatical, Ophelia assumes she'll be the one guiding the transition. What she didn't expect was for the keys to the kingdom to be handed to the one man she can't stand...Malcolm J. Bettendorf.
Malcolm is a legend, but for all the wrong reasons. A former American football star with a jawline that cuts glass and a reputation that keeps the tabloids in business, he's more comfortable in a nightclub than a boardroom.
The transition is anything but smooth. Between Malcolm's unconventional "locker room" leadership style and Ophelia's rigid professional standards, the office becomes a battlefield. But as the late-night strategy sessions turn into deep-tissue conversations, the line between professional disdain and personal desire begins to blur. Malcolm discovers that Ophelia is the first woman who doesn't want his money or his fame, she wants his respect. Meanwhile, Ophelia begins to see the vulnerability of a man struggling to find his identity off the field.
The road to love is paved with corporate sabotage and public scrutiny. With a board of directors waiting for Malcolm to fumble and a vengeful ex-flame looking to ignite a scandal, the stakes have never been higher. As secrets from Malcolm's past threaten to dismantle the Bettendorf legacy, Ophelia must decide if she's protecting the company or the man who has finally tackled his way into her heart.
