Monique Mackenzie has it all. The only thing missing is the one thing she doesn't know she can get-her boss. Sassy and glamorous, Monique Mackenzie has everything a modern woman could want-great career, fabulous home, wardrobe and friends. Men throw themselves at her constantly, but after years of meaningless flings, the charm has worn off. The one man who truly ignites her passion is the only man she can't have-her boss, Jerome Fontaine. Mysterious Jerome drops clues that he sees her, too, but he seems to have a secret life outside the office. He remains elusive until Monique accidentally stumbles upon his secrets and discovers the reasons for his stoic behavior. As the fiercely private Jerome begins to trust Monique, Monique's world is turned upside down as she figures out what she truly wants out of life. Jerome's presence makes her question everything from her ambitions to her erotic tastes, and in falling for him she must face her own demons. Just when she thinks she's got it all figured out, Monique finds herself challenged in ways she never imagined, though the one thing she knows for certain is that she has never loved anyone as much as she loves Jerome.
