Description
First Emma Gold took on sex. Now she takes on the world of work in this brilliant new novel. Our heroine enjoys her job as a recruitment consultant until her boss starts being suggestive in a way that she's not too keen on. But when she protests, she's sacked. There's only one way to get her revenge - and that's in court. As the case proceeds, it starts to take its toll. How will her romance with the sexy Luca, son of her former boss's secretary, be affected, especially when his mother is a character witness against her? And she has to find another job. When a girl spends most of her life at work, it's important to get it just right. But it's not the easiest thing in the world...
