When a ruthless former colleague returns to Emerson Publishing House, junior editor Natalie finds her career - and her secret feelings for her boss - put at risk, especially when he breaks their own no-dating rule with five devastating words: 'You complicate everything for me.'
***
Natalie has worked too hard to lose her dream job now, not after fighting her way into one of the most respected publishing houses in the world. But when Danika, the colleague who once tried to sabotage her, returns unexpectedly, Natalie feels the ground fall from beneath her feet.
To make things worse, Julian - her impossibly controlled, unreadable boss, and the man she's been secretly in love with for months - seems to welcome Danika back in with open arms. And when he takes their newest high-profile manuscript away from Natalie and hands it to Danika instead, it feels like a punch.
Then one quiet moment outside the office changes everything.
Julian steps too close, and confesses something he shouldn't.
Now Natalie has to keep her job, protect her heart, and pretend she didn't hear the one thing that could ruin them both.
