JACK I'm always down for a good time. I'm that guy. I love women. I love sex. And I love my life. Go big or go home, right? My father's death is a constant reminder of why I like to keep it simple. Life is short. Emotional attachments make you weak. Grieving sucks. And I have no interest in caring deeply for anyone outside of my family. I'm not looking for complications. Monroe Buckley is a complication. She's driven. She's focused. And she's my best friend's little sister. Not happening. But once we're forced to spend time together... I only want more. Too bad she's the one woman who is off-limits. MONROE I don't trust most people, and I have my reasons. I'm passionate about my work, and I came here to do a job. Not date the boss. Getting hired at the top media company in the city is the break of my life. But it means working for Jack Montgomery. My one-time crush. My brother's best friend. And the current thorn in my side. He's exactly what I want to avoid. Yet he's everywhere I turn. Even when he's not there-he's in my head. He's a magnet for attention. A heartbreak just waiting to happen. And my heart is something I fiercely protect. At all costs. They say the heart wants what the heart wants... But my heart isn't allowed to make that decision anymore. There's too much to lose.
