Mickey Clark can't catch a break. Having barely escaped a broken home and after managing to get herself through college alone, she's back to living in her car and depending on her best friend Travis to feed her. All that changes when she lands a position working as assistant to world famous architect Jude Lazarus. But joining the land of the decently employed comes with a price: an unhealthy obsession with her gorgeous screwed up boss, who not only has a mysterious string of lawsuits brought against him by former assistants, but a dark secret that he'll do anything to keep. The story develops over a series of five novellas.
