Stephen Silver is a marketing and advertising giant in the Greensboro area. Cree Caruthers knows she shouldn't want any part of the man—her boss—but she does. As an executive manager for his company, Cree is aware of the handsome arrogance, the suave demeanor and the cool resolve that made him a force in the media world. Cree loves him and after six years of working alongside him, he finally comes to her with an assignment she has always dreamed of: marriage. Stephen has watched Cree since he hired her for his company, C.A.K.E. As her boss, he directs her career as they work together to achieve success, but it’s her heart he really wants. Faced with the approaching death of his father, Stephen needs support and love in his life more than ever—and he knows the perfect woman to fit the bill: Cree. If he could just get Cree to agree, then he would be very happy indeed. It should be a piece of cake.
