The blurb:
My name is Sydney Lucas. I am smart, deathly shy, and 100 percent determined to make my own way in the world. Which is why I jumped at the chance to intern for Mr. Nick Brooks despite his reputation. After 10 failed interviews at other companies, he was the only one offering. Plus, everyone says he knows his stuff and surely a man as stunningly handsome as him can't be “the devil incarnate”, right? Wrong.
Oh…that man. That freakin' man has got to go! I've been on the job one week, and he's insulted my mother, wardrobe shamed me, and managed to make me cry. Twice. Underneath that stone-cold, beautiful face is the evilest human being ever.
But I'm not going to quit. Oh no. For once in my life, I've got to make a stand. Only every time I open my mouth, I can't quite seem to muster the courage. Perhaps my revenge needs to come in another form: destroying him quietly.
Because I've got a secret. I'm not really just an intern, and Sydney Lucas isn't my real name.
My thoughts:
What starts of as an office romance twists and turns into a rather neat suspense novel. Georgie Walton, the painfully shy daughter of one of Texas’s biggest oil magnates decides to go undercover in a “proper job” in order to convince her siblings that she’s capable of pulling her weight in the family business. A business they’re fighting over with their father, who’s had a yoga-induced mental breakdown. She gets an office job at Palo Verde Pharmaceuticals, which her family just happens to own, only to clash with her sexy but oh-so-annoying boss, Nick Brooks. But Nick isn’t everything he seems, and neither is one of the other characters (I won’t say more because spoilers!). Just read the book 🙂
