Valentine I'd been working nearly a year in my position when I'd been unceremoniously bumped up to the secretary for the boss upstairs. Unfortunately, I had two problems with that; his employees were notorious for dropping like flies, quitting, or getting fired. I didn't want either. Second, he set off emotions I thought were only in books. My heart couldn't handle being around the man, and now I was forced to be in his presence every day. Wyatt A gift and a torment. Valentine was the perfect person to replace my last office assistant, but I didn't know if I could tolerate being around her safely. She unlocked something I've kept hidden away for my entire existence. Since I lost my parents, I hadn't let a soul into my life, but Valentine might have broken down that barrier. It was just a shame she was my employee now. Contains mature themes.
