Kelly Lattimore dreams of using her legal skills to help those in need, but practicalities force her into the soul-crushing world of Big Law. Despite the shock of a one-night stand being her new boss, she's determined to excel...and maybe even make her family proud of her for once.

As cutthroat as she is beautiful, the last thing high-powered attorney Jillian Briggs is looking for is an office romance. Still smarting from her divorce, she distracts herself with work and casual sex. She never planned to mix the two, but when Kelly turns out to be her new associate after their night of passion, Jillian's carefully partitioned life is turned on its head.

Try as they might, Kelly and Jillian can't resist their attraction. They're determined to keep their connection purely physical, but the more time they spend together, the harder it gets to ignore their hearts.
