What do you do when you know you're not suited, but he just won't let you go? Emily Pennington is knee-deep in a business crisis that could cost her the job she loves and she's put her love life on the back burner to get the office back on track. Her weeks are full of long work days, keeping up with her friends, and caring for her slightly neurotic parrot. There's no time for romance, so she's not impressed when the man she dated months before suddenly turns up at work-especially when she discovers he's now her boss! Cooper Jackson couldn't have planned his new role at Emily's business better, even if he knew why she dumped him all those months ago. He'll do anything to spend time with her, even if that means sitting by her side for every upcoming staff interview. It's the perfect scenario: Together they'll employ enough quality people to get the business operating again. She'll give him his second chance and they'll live happily ever after. But the job market has other ideas. A series of inappropriate and downright unsuitable job applicants throw them together, while they leave every encounter more horrified than the last. Will Emily give Cooper another chance to prove himself or did he mess up too badly last time? Where are all the decent job applicants? And how will Emily stop her parrot from spilling every last secret to Cooper?
