It begins as all cliches do. 

Sarah Andrews, the diligent dedicated assistant, agrees to stay late to satisfy the professional needs of her hard-nosed boss. But when their time alone brings on a hunger that food would not sate, the late night at the office becomes more than just a working relationship, at least if Sarah has her way.

Cody Stone, the naturally controlling perfectionist, is on a deadline and requires a few extra hours of hard work from his very capable assistant. But once the office is empty, and the work is done, he finds himself needing more than just any meal. Can he safely cross the boundary between boss and assistant? Should he?

All cliches end badly... or do they?

This book is specifically written in tandem, allowing both viewpoints of the story to be told simultaneously.
