Allison is a transcriptionist bored out of her mind, so when she is offered the job of a secretary to a well-known author, she leaps at it without reading the fine print. She didn't know she was agreeing to moving to a different state and into a mansion!
The increase in salary is significant, and room and board are all included, so it is a win-win for her, especially when she sees the handsome man she would be spending the majority of her time with. Dalquiel - You will address me as Mr. James. I prefer to keep our relationship strictly professional - is a good employer. It helps that he is so easy on the eye, considering that they are going to be spending so much time in each other's presence.
There are secrets abound in the mansion that she is insistent on keeping away from. After all, she finally has her life in order. There's a young nephew who has been kicked out of three schools, a housekeeper who thinks their employer's business is failing and fears the mansion is going to be put up for sale, and a woman who is adamant that Mr. James and her are meant to be and makes it clear that Allison is 'just staff'.
Will she be able to keep her own rule on not getting involved in the business of others, or will she find herself trapped in the mystery that has wrapped itself around her like a second skin?
