Until Ivy Nash joins his team.

Smart, ambitious, and every bit his intellectual equal, she challenges him in ways no one else ever has. Staying professional should be easy.

Instead, one kiss changes everything.

Ivy has spent her life proving herself in a field where success is earned, not given. The last thing she needs is to jeopardize the career she's worked so hard to build by falling for her boss.

Full disclosure I got to chapter 5 and decided this was enough of a time waste. If the characters and storyline ever evolved into something it certainly wasn't in the part I read.
