Samantha Scott is a journalism graduate. But with no jobs in her boring little run-of-the-mill town she moves to the city and takes whatever job she can with Monday Magazine - owned and run by the powerful and stoically handsome Maxwell Strickland. 


**************************** 

The other bonus of moving five hours away is that she also gets to escape her stupid (and newly titled) ex-boyfriend Mark, who heartbreakingly dumped her after four years together. What adventure awaits her in the city? Can she crack her way into journalism? Or will she have to rely on the handsome CEO, Maxwell Strickland, to help her? And what happens when the stupid ex-boyfriend just won't stop calling?
