But then, my boss made an unexpected request: leave my current placement to move in with his only daughter. I'd never lived with a woman who was off-limits to me. The longer we're in such close quarters together, the greater the temptation grows, but I know I'll lose everything if I pursue her.

The last time I saw Declan St. James was at our rehearsal dinner. That was shortly before he jilted me at the altar.
