Inside Job

Romance

Description

Hannah walks into a job interview still reeling from her boyfriend’s infidelity—and recognizes Damien Bass, the stranger from her recent one-night stand. He is also her ex-boyfriend’s older brother, a powerful technology executive, and soon her new boss. Hired as Damien’s assistant, Hannah faces an even more personal assignment when he asks her to pose as his fiancée. The arrangement moves her into his New York penthouse and places her beside him in public, leaving little room between professional obligations and private attraction. Built around a fake engagement, forced proximity, an age gap, and an unequal workplace relationship, this contemporary romance follows two people whose practical bargain keeps generating feelings neither can neatly confine to its terms.
