He’s so cold and distant. A block of ice wrapped inside a devastatingly handsome exterior. I have enough sunshine to warm us both… if only he’d let me in.

Working as Mr. Jackson’s PA is not for the faint of heart. Tolerable on a good day, a cold-hearted S.O.B. for the rest, he’s every employee’s worst nightmare. It’s a wonder to everyone that I’ve managed to stay with him for three years. I question my sanity myself sometimes. There is something in Liam Jackson that keeps me coming back. Something that sets my heart… and body on fire.

Crushing on my unobtainable boss, however, is an exercise in futility. Mr. Jackson’s walls are so high it would take a certified climber to scale them. So, when I get a call saying my grandma needs help for a month, I jump at the chance to leave, hoping that the adage, “out of sight, out of mind” rings true.

Unfortunately for me, it doesn’t and to top it off, there is something strange going on when I return. There is warmth underneath the coldness of Mr. Jackson. A spark that gives me hope, drawing me back in. I’ll break through his defenses one smile at a time.
