Office relationships are forbidden at Pursell . . . but certain attraction canβt be denied when love enters the office and refuses to be ignored.
Everyone knows office romances can provide complications for anyone involved in them. The tension, secrecy and outcomes affect both people in far-reaching ways not clear to anyone at the start of such a relationship.
Angelica Sonderman is the quintessential business wonder woman in her company. Having experienced some personal losses early on, she has armed herself with a demeanor, work attitude and view of love that guarantees her many hits but few wins in 1 of those 3 categories. However, from the very start of her employment at Angelicaβs firm, Braxton Collins has caught the eye of her boss. The admiration and respect proffered to Angelica translates to a desperate quest to see if Braxton can become anything more to her than a trusted, efficient employee.
Amidst a group of characters that range from former partners who are now respected colleagues, to dangerous co-workers who threaten to expose the innocent tryst of a boss and her young subordinate, to the always rock-steady relative offering comforting advice on the Oregon coast, the drama between Braxton and Angelica tests the waters in a burgeoning partnership that questions itself at each turnβ¦Can I trust someone who flirts with love? Do I think I can be happy with this person for all time? Is it wise to forgive heart wrenching betrayals in the hope of better times ahead?
As deep and lustful the physical encounters of these two can be, the chasm that has to be crossed proves to be a hard path for Angelica or Braxton to navigate. The heat of their pairing in the desert location of Phoenix then moves to Cannon Beach. The coast provides a new haven for a sorely battered Braxton while it offers Angelica memories of only wanting to leave after a family tragedy. Both women are anchored by dashed hopes, unfulfilled commitments and the search for a lasting love.
