HANDSOME SCOUNDREL

An ambitious intern. A perfectionist executive. And a whole lot of name-calling. Discover the story of Emily Brown and Robert Ramirez - and just how they got under each other's skin. Emily Brown is intelligent, hardworking, and days away from finishing her MBA. She has a dream job at a top-tier consulting firm and a terrific apartment in New York City. The only problem? She doesn't like her boss, who happens to be a gorgeous, infuriating man. Robert Ramirez is blunt, demanding, and always gets what he wants. And what he wants is his brilliant assistant - Emily. She's excellent at her job and surpasses his every expectation. So why can't he stop thinking about her? When their friction reaches its boiling point, Robert and Emily are forced to confront their complicated feelings for each other, and the result is a deliciously erotic office romance that neither of them can resist. As they explore their mutual desire, they uncover secrets about themselves and their pasts and learn that love can be messy, complicated, and downright beautiful. Told in alternating perspectives between Emily and Robert, Handsome Scoundrel is a steamy, provocative, and thoroughly addictive novel that will leave you begging for more.

CHAPTER 39

"In the elevator, she said, "Are you okay?," breaking the ominous calm that had surrounded us for fourteen levels.

To avert her eyes, I scratched the back of my neck. Yes, I was just... thinking.

'I'm going out with some pals tonight,' she said when asked about her plans.

I replied, "That sounds like a good idea."

You have supper at seven tonight with Stevenson and Newberry. She told me, "They're meeting you at your favorite sushi joint in the Gaslamp."

I said, "I know," feeling more at ease as we entered the comfortable world of business. "Again, what is the name of their assistant?" The one who always shows up.

She said, "Andrew."

I cast an unsure gaze at her. "That's a little more masculine than I expected," I thought.

She said, "They have a new assistant."

I had no idea how she was able to know it. "How did you learn?"

She grinned. He enquired about my attendance at the dinner as we were both seated next to each other at the keynote.
