A phone call from her father sends Cali Stanton back home to Chicago to look after the family business. Being CEO of Stanton Enterprises is never something she wanted to do, but when her father tells her she's the only one he can trust to run the company in his absence she can't say no.
Within hours of stepping into her father's office she comes face-to-face with her father's head of security, Matthew Andersen. The attraction is instantaneous and undeniable. Unfortunately, Cali can't act on it. She's his boss for the next three months and it wouldn't be appropriate to cross that line.
Little does she know, fate is determined to throw them together at every turn. Someone is after her father's company and now they've set their sights on her. Can Matthew and Cali figure out who's behind the threats before it's too late and still keep things strictly professional?
