All Eric wanted was a distraction from the tiresome stress of university life. He could never in his wildest nightmares have predicted that one unfortunate misunderstanding with the capricious daughter of Shawn Briggs, a big-shot lawyer, would somehow land him working for the hot-tempered man's law firm.
Then again, neither could have Shawn, who was now firmly set on a merciless path of vengeance aimed directly at his new sworn enemy: his very own assistant. But... why the hell did the brat have to be so good at his damn job?
The road to rapport is never clear, but there's always that unlikely office love.
