Barnett:
I'm on my last warning as boss of Book-ish, after my latest workplace dalliance cost us a top female author and a possible bestselling title.
Enter the new editorial assistant, Jess. Frumpy and surly, she's clearly been put there by my business partner, Eli, as a spy. Trouble is, not only am I tormented by what she's hiding under that baggy suit and dreaming of pulling her hair out of that bun, but I also want to annoy her until she confesses who she really is.
But back to business. To save my job and the company's fortune I now have to look for a replacement bestselling book.
Then the 'confessions' start arriving. Brought to my office by Jess, she says they're being posted anonymously and that the author wishes for me to read them one by one and won't reveal their identity until the end.
The confessions are of what a woman seeks to bring her satisfaction.
But are these confessions really anonymous, or are they from Jess?
All I know is my own confession. I think I'm in serious trouble. I think I'm falling head over heels for the new assistant. But I'm banned from dating colleagues. I'm a forbidden boss.
I'm screwed. and not in a good way.
