"I think I just fell for my boss's biggest rival..." All Cam ever wanted to do was work for his favorite author Madeleine Stevens. But when a harsh review of her latest book is published by her rival Serge Faletti, Cam's sense of loyalty sends him marching to Serge to demand a retraction.
"I can't let anybody see who I really am..." Serge is supposed to be writing the follow-up to his big hit detective novel, but the words aren't coming. And knowing that his rival Madeleine is plotting against him isn't helping. When he meets her assistant, the bookish, cardigan-wearing Cam, he is caught off-guard. How can he be so drawn to someone who should be his enemy? He is so worried about his reputation that he can't admit his attraction, even to himself.
"I can't trust you, but I don't want to spend a minute without you..." How can you trust your feelings when the man you're with is your worst enemy? Things are getting real between Cam and Serge, but Madeleine's scheming threatens to tear them apart before they have a chance together. Can Cam untangle himself from his boss and let himself be free to love? And can Serge put aside his worries over what the world will think if he is with another man?
