When Nicole's friend introduces her to Chris, the physical attraction is irresistible. An affair with a stranger seems like just the thing to take Nicole's mind off an impending work reorganisation. As redundancy looms, her weekend with the sexy businessman doesn't disappoint. But when the restructure rolls out, Nicole discovers Chris Reeves is the consultant driving her company's organisational change, which makes him strictly off limits.

Every time their paths cross in the office, Chris and Nicole are forced to pretend they don't know each other. Harder still, they have to fight their mutual attraction. Nicole is thrown into turmoil, faced with the choice of relocation to the other side of the world or redundancy. All this while presenting a professional front and staying away from the consultant she's intimately acquainted with.

Maybe taking redundancy would be the best option. Then their professional connection would cease, Chris would become available again and Nicole wouldn't have to move away from her friends and family. But is an affair worth sacrificing her hard-earned career for?
