Welcome to human resources’ hottest nightmare…<\/em><\/strong>

ALESSA<\/strong>

A Friday evening call. My boss, the unattainable Julianna Marcon, needs me in the office.

This has never happened before. I should recognize it for what it is.

Ms. Marcon wants me.\u00a0Me<\/em>. Alessa. An intern who has never been kissed, never been touched, never dared to dream of this.

But she doesn\u2019t know that. Nor do I know how to navigate a woman like her\u2014cool as ice, yet blazing with power\u2014in the office\u2026

Or<\/em>\u00a0the bedroom.

JULIANNA<\/strong>

Alessa was meant to be a forgettable face in a sea of nobodies. But I\u2019m the boss. What I desire, I take.

And if I decide I want her to be mine? The sweet, unclaimed woman I shape into my ideal lover?

She\u2019ll be mine.

If I command her to surrender her every secret, every inch of herself, she will. I dare her to resist.

But I know she won\u2019t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
