Tech-talk is something Aria Finch is fluent in. Romance and run-of-the-mill human interaction? Not so much. She's intent on keeping her life simple and to the point. Good career? Check. Boyfriend? Check. Spoiled cat? Double check. When it comes to her boss, however, everything she's struggling to build seems to go out the window. North Acquati is determined, successful, and gorgeous. Which wouldn't be a problem if Finch hadn't gotten herself wined, dined, and gifted a mysterious box that could get her killed. Her confusing feelings for North and the sudden danger she finds herself in only intensify as she's tangled deeper into the web of North's latest secret project. But is their chemistry genuine? Or is it nothing more than an elaborate manipulation with potentially devastating consequences?
