First published 1991 · 216 pages
A deliciously angsty vintage romance where buried secrets and undeniable chemistry collide in a high-tension workplace.
What it feels like
Reading this vintage romance feels like stepping into a time capsule of high-stakes emotional drama and simmering workplace tension. The narrative moves at a brisk, compulsive clip, driven entirely by the crackling, unresolved history between a fiercely guarded heroine and a relentlessly charming, domineering hero. It is steeped in the classic angst of early nineties category romance, where every glance is loaded with hidden meaning and every conversation feels like a battle of wills. The prose is direct and emotionally heightened, focusing heavily on internal turmoil and sharp, defensive dialogue. It is a perfect, nostalgic indulgence for readers who crave intense power dynamics, inescapable pasts, and the delicious friction of forced proximity.

About the book
Lisa’s former life was behind her now
Lisa was not exactly happy working in Evan Wright’s advertising agency. Competent herself, she found it unpleasant covering for Jon, Evan’s inept brother-in-law.
Then Steve Crawford, a demanding new client insisted that Jon should handle his account. Evan was amazed. Lisa was furious.
Unknown to anyone, Lisa had once abandoned a glamorous career to get away from Steve Crawford. She would not be moved by Evan’s demand that she be nice to an important client – nor by Steve’s undiminished charm!
