EMMA

I’m sick of not being taken seriously.

Secretly broke and plagued by being a woman in tech, I’ve spent five years fighting for a sliver of respect from my boss.

Last year it was destroyed by a single man.

No, not a man.

A demon in a three-piece suit.

Now, he’s trying to steal the promotion I’ve earned, but no matter how weak his dimples make me, I refuse to let him win.

Except Charlie Walker has never played by the rules, and he’s intent on getting under my skin, one wink at a time.

CHARLIE

Good things only come to those who take.

So, when corporate superstar and trust fund princess, Emma Conway, expects the lead role handed to her on a silver platter, I do what I do best…

Suit up and step into the ring.

Too bad there’s an inferno hidden under all her control, and it only makes me want to get burned.

I probably shouldn’t have kissed her. I definitely shouldn’t have agreed to make her ex jealous.

It’s a good thing she hates me, or I’d really be in trouble.
