Addie Fitzpatten knows it's time to look for a new job the moment she sees her soon to be ex making out in the workplace, and she vows she'll never date another colleague, ever, for the rest of her life, so help her. As soon as she starts at her new company, she curses the irony of having to work closely with the hot wonder that is Jake O'Regan, but she knows she will stay strong. The man is a colleague, and can only ever be a colleague.

Jake is in no way ready to begin a relationship, thanks to a painful lesson he was forced to learn six months ago, but when he meets Addie, he knows his resolution never to get involved with a colleague is going to be a challenge. But he's up for it. Or at least he thinks he is.
