This workplace romance follows Chloe Mills, an MBA-bound intern, and her demanding, controlling boss Bennett Ryan as their initial mutual antagonism erupts into an intense physical affair. Set in the high-pressure world of a Chicago media company, the story is told in alternating first-person perspectives as the two try to reconcile their professional roles with an increasingly consuming attraction. It began online as a piece of fan fiction before being reworked into this bestselling original novel.
