Scorned by the Boss

From Back Cover: Shipping tycoon Jefferson Lyon wasn't a man who took no for an answer-from anybody. So when his "faithful" secretary finally had enough of his difficult demanding ways and quit, he followed her to the tropical resort where she was vacationing. There'd be no relaxing for Jefferson... he was playing at seduction in order to get Caitlyn back to work. But his ex-assistant was turning out to be more determined, and more desirable, than the arrogant millionaire had ever realized. Comments: Caitlyn's fiancé broke up their engagement claiming that he didn't want to be in the shadow of Jefferson Lyon, her boss and true love. Caitlyn denies that she has any personal feelings for her boss and believes that her ex-fiancé is using that as an excuse to break-up because of his own issues. She becomes annoyed with Jefferson because of how insensitive he is to her news that her wedding is off and he sees that as a positive because there won't be a break in their work routine. Caitlyn decides that she has had enough of her arrogant boss, so decides to resign. Caitlyn and her two friends, who have recent broken engagements as well, decide to spend time at an exclusive resort to pamper themselves. After a few days without Caitlyn, Jefferson decides that he needs his former assistant and the best way is to seduce her then have her break-up with him, using her guilt to get her to stay in his employ. Things don't exactly fall into place as he thought it would and they both start having feelings for each other. This book is the first in the Reasons for Revenge series and was a very good read, I strongly recommend reading this series of books in the order written because the characters for the following books are introduced. I've read the first and second (Scorned by the Boss & Seduced by the Rich Man) and do feel that each book can stand on its own, but you will understand the characters more and enjoy the read better if read in order. 1.Scorned by the Boss - 8/2007 2.Seduced by the Rich Man - 9/2007 3.Captured by the Billionaire - 10/2007 written by Maureen Child
