JACK

I'm always down for a good time.

I'm that guy.

I love women.

I love sex.

And I love my life.

Go big or go home, right?

My father's death is a constant reminder of why I like to keep it simple.

Life is short.

Emotional attachments make you weak.

Grieving sucks.

And I have no interest in caring deeply for anyone outside of my family.

I'm not looking for complications.

Monroe Buckley is a complication.

She's driven.

She's focused.

And she's my best friend's little sister.

Not happening.

But once we're forced to spend time together...

I only want more.

Too bad she's the one woman who is off-limits.

MONROE

I don't trust most people, and I have my reasons.

I'm passionate about my work, and I came here to do a job.

Not date the boss.

Getting hired at the top media company in the city is the break of my life.

But it means working for Jack Montgomery.

My one-time crush.

My brother's best friend.

And the current thorn in my side.

He's exactly what I want to avoid.

Yet he's everywhere I turn.

Even when he's not there-he's in my head.

He's a magnet for attention.

A heartbreak just waiting to happen.

And my heart is something I fiercely protect.

At all costs.

They say the heart wants what the heart wants...

But my heart isn't allowed to make that decision anymore.

There's too much to lose.
