I was just his secretary--until the Bridgewater Case. Falling for my boss was never the plan… But sometimes, the best things in life aren’t penciled in.

Three and a half years ago, Daphne walked into my shop, kicked open the door to my soul, invited herself inside, and got comfortable. By the time I realized she’d made herself at home, it was too late to kick her out. Now, I’m in love with her. But I’m not her boyfriend. She’s not my lover. We’re just friends… Trevor’s it for me.
