“She joked that I’m your ‘work wife.’ Funny, right?” I say. I’m not sure how he’ll take this.
“Well, in that case. Here. Let’s make it official.” Emmanuel holds the ring up to me with eyebrows raised in expectation. “Iris? Will you be my work wife?”
Iris Faldon is at Norgate & Carr to work. Period. Despite knowing almost nothing about architecture, she landed a job with one of the top firms in the country. Iris is still recovering from a divorce and wants to stay away from relationships for a while. Too bad her new boss Emmanuel is attractive, intriguing, and seems to notice her, not just for her design talents.
Emmanuel Carr wishes he could forget the last work romance he had, the one that left the office criminally damaged. But he's connecting with Iris, the new office assistant, so well that he's starting to re-think the no-dating policy he helped put in place at the firm. The staff is beginning to wonder what's going on between him and Iris. To be honest, he's wondering, too.
