I'm in love with my tall, dark and grumpy boss

Only he's engaged to another...

Knox Davenport.

Six feet three inches of glower, and with a presence that fills any room he walks into, is my boss.

Too bad I'm secretly in love with him.

He's a former Marine and the new CEO of the Davenport Group.

I'm a lowly assistant.

He doesn't even know my name.

I can't get him out of my mind.

The man's obnoxious, and disagreeable and has an ego I want to take down several notches.

So why can't I get over this unreasonable attraction?

Besides I need this job so I can pay my bills.

..and put my siblings through college.

I can't do anything to mess up this opportunity.

So, I resolve to keep things professional between us.

Until he announces he's to be married... to another.

How long can I watch from afar...

While my heart breaks apart?

I resign my job...

I'm sure he'll forget about me.

Only a day later the doorbell rings and he's there.

He's broken off his betrothal.

And has a new proposal for me...

...with conditions...
