Carter thought he knew what he was getting into when he was hired as the secretary to cutthroat CEO Faith Becker. Romance may not have been on the agenda, but the line between business and pleasure seems to be blurring.
*****
Eager to gain business experience before he takes over his father's company, and to learn from someone who will see him as more than a spoiled heir, Carter Pierce accepts a job working for the most difficult CEO in town. Faith Becker's reputation precedes her, and it's nothing good. Nicknamed the She-Devil of New York, Faith is known for her high expectations, and she's sure Carter won't meet them. But even as they drive each other crazy in and out of the office, there's a chemistry between them that's hard to ignore. Faith may be the most beautiful woman Carter has ever met, and Carter may be the one person who seems to understand Faith as more than a tyrant boss, but romance is completely off the table. After all, they hate each other...don't they?
