From the moment Scarlett Mosley walked into my office, I knew I was in trouble. She’s smart, stunning, and completely off-limits. For six months, I’ve kept my feelings buried, convincing myself she’s nothing more than the best assistant I’ve ever had.

Chapter 1
Scarlett
I’m staring at my computer screen, watching the little clock in the corner tick ever so slowly toward five o'clock. The hands of time seem determined to move at the pace of a slug crawling through molasses. Any minute now, my grouchy boss will summon me with some last-minute task that’ll have me staying late—not that I’m bitter or anything. I glance at the stack of paperwork towering to my left, and Noah’s voice comes over the intercom. Speak of the devil.
“Scarlett, can you come into my office, please?” It’s more of a command than a question, and the impatience in his voice is as familiar as my morning cup of coffee. I roll my eyes but push back my chair and grab my trusty notepad.
As I cross the open-plan office to reach his domain, I mentally prepare myself for whatever storm might hit. Noah Blackwood is, without a doubt, the most gorgeous, successful, and infuriating man I’ve ever met. Seriously, he’s like a Greek god molded in the form of a CEO, but with the temperament of a bear woken up from winter hibernation without any coffee in sight.
I knock lightly on his door and wait for his grumbled, “Come in,” before stepping inside. Yep. I learned how much he hates for someone to walk in before he permits them on my first day. It was the last time I ever made that mistake. He sits behind his desk, looking every bit the part of a business tycoon in his perfectly tailored, custom suit. His dark hair is tousled just enough to look effortlessly suave, not like the hot mess my hair is perpetually unraveled into by the end of each workday.
His piercing blue eyes lift from his screen to meet mine, and even though he’s about to bark orders at me, my stomach does that weird flippy thing it always does when he looks at me. Focus, Scarlett. You’re a professional and jumping your boss’ bones wouldn’t be very professional.
"Scarlett," he says, gesturing to a dubious pile of documents on the edge of his desk. "I need these organized and summarized before you leave tonight.”
I nod, my professional demeanor firmly in place, even as I suppress the urge to grumble. “Of course. I’ll get right on that.”
He nods, satisfied with my compliance, and dismisses me with a wave of his hand. It’s my cue to beat a hasty retreat. As soon as the door closes behind me, I stick out my tongue at it, the only protest I’m brave enough to make. Childish? Maybe. But sometimes acting out my frustrations in small, ridiculous ways is necessary for survival.
