About the book
She was playing with fire--dared she risk getting burned
Life with the jet set was fine for some, but Cassie Elliot yearned for a sense of purpose. Inheriting a British publishing house was a gift from heaven... until she discovered that the firm's brilliant managing director, Miles Gilmour, vowed to walk out the minute she walked in.
Cassie did walk in-but as Miles's new secretary. Her subterfuge was risky business at best, but she had much to learn--about the publishing industry and about her gorgeous and enigmatic "boss." She hadn't planned on falling in love... or on discovering that deception could be a double-edged sword.
