CEO Suzette LeBlec has a problem. Well, actually two. She needs a top-notch temporary replacement for her administrative assistant's maternity leave, and she needs to find a way to outmaneuver a hostile takeover attempt by Mark Adams. To make things worse, it's almost Christmas, the time when Suzette most feels alone in the world. She loves the wheeling and dealing, but she wouldn't mind meeting someone like the handsome stranger she'd recently seen at one of the many parties she attended this year. But when the same stranger applies for the temp job, his almost-too-good-to-be-true credentials set off Suzette's alarms. Dirk Harvey worked hard for years to remain anonymous while he rebuilt his father's floundering company back up to its glory days. But when he discovers the stunning woman he'd spotted at a party is hiring, he decides to go undercover as "Dirk Mulligan", administrative assistant extraordinaire. Besides, he and Suzette have a common problem: takeover King Mark Adams. Maybe they can find a solution together plus enjoy a little holiday bonus as well.
