The air between them grew heavy, the professional boundaries of the office blurring into something far more personal. For a moment, the future of WonderBooks didn't matter; the only thing that did was the woman sitting just inches away, and the mystery she was clearly desperate to keep.
Dean narrowed his eyes. He knew Elio had left him a "poisoned gift" by keeping Claire on staff, but as he watched her work, he felt less like he was dealing with a spy and more like he was losing a game he hadn't realized he was playing.

Claire is the niece of the former director, Elio Wallace, making her a potential obstacle to Dean's new plans for the publishing house. However, Dean finds her incredibly attractive and suspects she is hiding a secret that could cause her to vanish from his life before he can act on his intentions. A Glimpse into WonderBooks
