Shes charming and accommodating and prides herself on being loved by everyone at Bexley & Gamin. Everyone except for coldly efficient, impeccably attired, physically intimidating Joshua Templeman. And the feeling is mutual. Trapped in a shared office together forty (ok, fifty or sixty) hours a week, theyve become entrenched in an addictive, ridiculous never-ending game of one-upmanship. Theres the Staring Game. The Mirror Game. The HR Game. Lucy cant let Joshua beat her at anything-especially when a huge new promotion goes up for the taking. If Lucy wins this game, shell be Joshuas boss. If she loses, shell resign. So why is she suddenly having steamy dreams about Joshua, and dressing for work like shes got a hot date?After a perfectly innocent elevator ride ends with an earth shattering kiss, Lucy starts to wonder whether shes got Joshua Templeman all wrong. Maybe Lucy Hutton doesnt hate Joshua Templeman. And maybe, he doesnt hate her either. Or maybe this is just another game. Back Cover Lucy Hutton and Joshua Templeman hate each other. Not dislike. Not begrudgingly tolerate. Hate. And they have no problems displaying their feelings through a series of ritualistic passive-aggressive maneuvers as they sit across from each other, executive assistants to co-CEOs of a publishing company. Lucy cant understand Joshuas joyless, uptight, meticulous approach to his job. Joshua is clearly baffled by Lucys overly bright clothes, quirkiness, and Pollyanna attitude. Now that theyre up for the same promotion, their battle of wills has come to a head and Lucy refuses to back down when their latest game could cost her her dream job. . . . But the tension between Lucy and Joshua has also reached its boiling point, and Lucy is discovering that maybe she doesnt hate Joshua. And maybe he doesnt hate her either. Or maybe this is just another game. Author Biography Sally Thorne, RN, PhD, is Professor and Director of the School of Nursing at the University of British Columbia.
