About the book
The Trouble with the Boss...
If there was one boss that Marcie MacLean never wanted to see again it was Jake Campbell. Five years ago he'd fired her for a mistake she hadn't even made. Now she was forced to work with him for a month - and the man was more difficult than ever!
Jake had always believed that Marcie had nearly ruined him. But gradually he began to accept that he might have judged her too harshly. Unfortunately, she still played havoc with his hormones - and as his assistant she was strictly out of bounds. Unless, of course, they were married...
