With only a suggestion of a possible exhibition in a trendy city gallery, Jem Reed is down to her last few hundred dollars and her rent is due. Desperation shoves her into the strange, retro office of the Maxwell Recruitment Agency. Bernie, specialist recruitment agent, sees this as an easy placement. How were either of them to know that a temporary job at an advertising agency, would shake Jem's world and change her life forever.
Carl Bannister is bored. He owns a successful business, has a number of beautiful women who he calls 'friends', and yet he finds himself jaded with life. A stupid fling and a betrayal has made him particularly sour. One night in a club, he is distracted by a lovely young woman wearing a sparkly dress. She has legs for miles, and he can't take his eyes off her.
In order to survive the heat between them, they come up with a deal. When they are in the office, Carl is the boss in every sense. But when they are in her studio, and she is painting his portrait, Jem gets to do things her way.
This sizzling romance has banter, betrayal and lots and lots of great sex. Enjoy!
