Hudson Sinclair is such a grumpy, snarly, arrogant nightmare no one on the temp agency's books is willing to take on the job of replacing his secretary while she is off sick. Well, here I am, it's my first day at the agency and I should probably give it a pass as my first job too. At least, that would be the prudent thing to do, but 'prudent' is not on my list of virtues. Besides, the money is too alluring to pass up. You see, I have plans. Big, ambitious plans to set up my own sweet little bakery. A place where I will bake the most delicious cupcakes and queues of hungry customers will wait outside for my delicious concoctions. To make that wish come true I need money. Anyway, how bad can the guy be? I'm no pushover. I know I can handle even a boss from the pits of hell for a while if it means getting my precious dream as a reward. I accept the challenge and take the job. Whoa! Hang on a minute. Why did nobody warn me that Mr. Grumpy is also Mr. Drop Dead Gorgeous!
Day one, and he has a slightly unconventional proposition for me. And he's willing to pay handsomely if I play along. Of course, I agree. I have my bakery to think of. It's all going swimmingly well until that thing as old as Adam and Eve puts in an appearance. We get naked... and now I can't even think straight. This job just got a whole lot complicated...
