About the book
The Nine to Five wife...
Sadie Milligan wasn't the type to get involved with a sexy, arrogant man. But then, the prim and proper secretary had never worked for anyone like gorgeous Jordan Trent. Suddenly she found herself putting in some very wifely overtime around the house--and hoping he'd give her some very husbandly kisses in return...
Jordan knew his innocent new employee had no idea of the effect she had on him. And he knew even the best boss wouldn't be able to resist breaking all the rules and romancing pretty. But if the confirmed bachelor didn't watch out, Sadie would be doing the delegating, starting with "Do you take this bride..."
