Lynn Hall runs a small, successful employment agency. While he’s able to find great candidates for his clients, he can’t seem to get a good assistant for his own office. One day while Lynn’s trying to answer the phone, type one-handed, and pour coffee for a guest, Duncan Stern walks in and becomes the answer to his prayers. Duncan has recently been laid-off and is desperate for a job. Taking a chance on another agency, he walks into the offices of Lynn Hall & Associates and Lynn hires him on the spot. Sexual tension simmers between them but they’re hesitant to pursue it because Lynn’s the boss. When one fateful evening thrusts them into each other’s arms, they’re forced to acknowledge the very real attraction they feel toward one another. Steamy nights and hot office liaisons lead to something more, but one lecherous client threatens their love and livelihood. Will Lynn lose his company and the man of his dreams?

He's the Boss

“Have a seat while I make us some coffee.”


Lynn put his keys on the table in the kitchen, removed his wrap, and hung it over one of the kitchen chairs. He opened a cabinet over the sink and took out a coffee filter. He added some Nescafe, turned on the coffeemaker, and waited for it to brew. A few minutes later, he brought two full cups into the living room and placed them on the table. Lynn took a seat beside Duncan and grabbed one of the cups.


By this time, Duncan had removed his jacket and bowtie and placed them on one of the arms of the sofa. The top two buttons of his shirt were undone, and his skin looked edible. Duncan took the other cup and sipped the hot liquid.


“This is great, thanks. I love Nescafe.”


“You can tell by the taste, huh? Me, too. Smells good, very aromatic.”


Sipping their coffee, they relaxed against the cushions, letting the quiet of the house soothe them.
