This is the follow on book to Welcome To New Haven. It can be read as a stand alone, but reading the previous one first, helps with the background story.
Emily Edwards has moved to Seattle, WA, to start a new life. After a disastrous relationship, and finishing her degree, she's looking forward to a fresh start. Swearing off men, she can't help but think about a certain somebody that got her riled up a few months before. She finds work for an investment company and is really happy with her job, until she meets the boss...
Nick has spent the past year taking each day as it comes. After the night that he can't forget, he buries himself in his work. He takes on a new assistant, that his secretary interviews on his behalf, and he looks forward to seeing how they react to him. Will she agree to stay and work for him? Or will she punch him in the face and walk away?
