Personal assistant Phaedra Cangelosi has worked for Harper Shaw for two blissful years, until HarperтАЩs birthday party causes a shakeup she didnтАЩt anticipate. Now sheтАЩs being thrust into opening her own restaurant with the help of Harper and her brother, Makena Kaeo. Tall, dark and dangerous Mak poses a big threat to PhaedraтАЩs equilibrium, and her vow to keep clear of him is harder than she thought. But sheтАЩd been burned in the past before when sheтАЩd mixed business and pleasure. As Mak helps her with both AlphaGroup and finding her a property for her new place, she vows to keep everything professional, but when she starts to draw closer to Mak, thatтАЩs easier said than done.
Mak is hired by AlphaGroup to find them a larger building because they have expanded so quickly, they are running out of space. When he gets wind that Phaedra is looking for real estate to open her restaurant, Mak wants to help her. HeтАЩs harbored a huge crush on her but has kept his distance. Harper found the beautiful Maltese beauty indispensable, and Mak has never wanted to rock the boat, longing to be incorporated fully into the Sinclair family. But now that Phaedra appears to be going out on her own and leaving HarperтАЩs employ, maybe Mak can make his move. He will have to get creative in wooing her, but thatтАЩs easier said than done.
