Reese Annesley was hiding in the bathroom hallway of a restaurant leaving a message for her best friend to save her from her awful date, when a gorgeous stranger overhears and offers her some dating advice. She proceeds to tell him to mind his own damn business—his own tall, handsome, full-of-himself damn business—and goes back to her miserable date, though she can't help but sneak hidden glances at the condescending jerk on the other side of the room. Of course, he catches her—and winks.

When Chase Parker and his equally hot date suddenly appear at Reese's table, she's sure he's going to rat her out. But instead, he pretends he and Reese are old friends and joins them, telling elaborate, embarrassing stories about their fake childhood. And her date suddenly goes from boring to bizarrely exciting.

After they part ways, Reese finds herself thinking about Chase more than she wants to admit, even though she knows she'll never see him again. What are the chances in a city with eight million people?

Then again…what are the chances a month later he winds up being her new boss?
