About the book
In love with her boss
Efficient but decidedly drab. Not any longer. Isabel Peabody has repressed her true self for long enough, and her workaholic boss, Gabriel Parish, is about to get the shock of his life.
Reluctantly agreeing to play the part of his "wife" for a week to secure a business deal, Izzy is about to transform herself from top executive assistant to a living, breathing—seductive - woman. Could she hope to persuade Gabriel to ease up on work and learn to have a little fun instead?
