Emily When I moved to Portland to start my dream career at one of the top advertising firms in the world, I had not expected to fall for my smoldering, sexy boss. I tried like hell to end things before they started, but it proved to be more difficult than anticipated. After a disastrous night trying to escape the reality of my situation, Reid was there to pick up the pieces. It was then that I knew I needed him in my life. So, despite a nagging worry that our feelings might have an effect on my job, we have found ourselves navigating both a working and a romantic relationship, something neither of us had prepared for. While we are taking things slow and learning more about each other every day, I’m certain there are things Reid isn’t ready to confide in me about. When he takes me to an out-of-town event and gives me the royal treatment, I’m sure life couldn’t get any better—that is, until I’m knocked back into reality when his past crashes the party. I’m no longer certain anything in my life will weather the storm, including my beloved career, which seems to be going down with the landslide.
