He wants sex. She wants him. He gets what he wants, she gets ... something.
When lust and love aren't one and same for both parties, things will get messy.
New job? Check.
Non-fictional love interest? Check.
Though him being her boss hadn’t been part of the plan … nor was being paid for sex.
Following graduation, Cathy is disillusioned with life. Her friends believe she needs to escape her dead-end waitressing job and finally get a boyfriend. When a new job seems to promise both of those things – her enigmatic new boss finally making her break up with her fictional love interests – things don’t go quite to plan.
When a one-night stand turns into an intimate arrangement, Cathy has to quickly change her opinion of herself, and redraw the parameters of her life to be with the man she knows she's falling for, even though he has no intention of falling for her back. But it’s the only way she can have him, and something is better than nothing . . . until it isn’t.
