When Shy steps into the face of danger, she exposes her boss for what he really isâa hero.
Shy has escaped poverty and the addictions of her family and has buried it all in the past to land her dream job at Curtis Black and Associates. Ready for her first case as lead researcher, sheâs forced to recuse herself when her half brother, whom she has successfully avoided her whole life, is the primary suspect in the case. As if revealing her relation in front of the senior partners isnât damaging enough, sheâs demoted to being an assistant for Atlantaâs most charming bachelor, Kyler Ross. The man is lethally handsome and sinfully smooth, with a serious phobia of office romance. Determined to prove her estrangement from her brother and return to her rightful position, Shy faces the brother sheâs never known, only to find herself wanting to help him. Surprisingly, her new boss is more than charm and good looks. Heâs willing to help, and lucky for her, he never loses.
Kyler Ross doesnât need another Candice in his life. All it takes is one accusation for an assistant to ruin a bossâs reputation. When Curtis Black asks him to take on his star employee as a temporary assistant, believing she may need protection, heâs less than thrilled to have the babysitting jobâuntil he comes face-to-face with Shy Santino. Professional, witty, and even more full of herself than he is, sheâs the sexiest woman heâs ever met. Whatâs the risk of having her? When sheâs snatched from the street right in front of him, he gets his answer. Heâll risk his life to have the rest of his life with her.
