Spicy Can Freya fix Jake's reputation without losing her heart?Assistant literary agent Freya Harrison never thought her chance at a big break would look like this: at a swanky romance conference in New York, managing the agency's most insufferable client. Sure, Jake Richards is a global best-selling author, adored by all his fans. But on meeting him, Freya finds him arrogant, condescending, and, worst of all, a complete phony.

But with Jake one slip away from another PR disaster, doubts are starting to set in. Can she survive this week without losing her mind - or her heart?
