Catherine is a happy novelist, but a little strapped for cash, so the six-week job at computer software company Create and Conquer is a welcome chance to make some extra money. She meets the CEO, Lance MacCallan, on her very first day. He's gorgeous, rich, admired by all around him, and a total bully.
But it's not the attacks on her competence or the threats to fire her that have Catherine rattled. No, it's when the CEO starts trying to convince her to go out with him that things get really unpleasant. A portion of the author's royalties is donated to organisations working with survivors of abuse.
