Really fun, spicy little read. Cole is an alpha male with trust issues, after his parents died and his lifelong buddy, his uncle - ripped him off for everything. So even though he's been working with Meg as his assistant for over three years, and trusts her - mostly - and is attracted to her strongly, he doesn't want to go there.Meg endured a childhood of schlepping from place to place as her mother first slept with her (often married) bosses, then got fired. The LAST thing she wants to do is follow in her mother's footsteps and sleep with her boss, although she's had a secret crush on him for years. And yes, she wants a promotion, but can't stand the idea that everyone will think it was not due to her hard work, but that she slept her way to the top.When these two get placed in a situation where they HAVE to appear to be a couple, to close the most important business deal either of them have had... the heat between them explodes.I really like this couple, and their complexity, as well as Meg's strength, and the wonderful secondary characters. Yes, there's a HEA, but it never feels like that is predestined. If you like books with rich alpha male leads that don't feel formulaic, this book is a great choice.
