About the book

Jessie, 28, was thrilled to be offered a job at a top Sydney advertising agency. But her heart sank when she saw the boss -- because she'd met Kane Marshall before.... However, Kane hired Jessie there and then; he wanted to get to know her better! But though nine-till-five Jessie was at Kane's bidding, after hours she definitely wasn't for bedding!
