He's the Boss

By J.D. Walker

Lynn Hall runs a small, successful employment agency. While he’s able to find great candidates for his clients, he can’t seem to get a good assistant for his own office. One day while Lynn’s trying to answer the phone, type one-handed, and pour coffee for a guest, Duncan Stern walks in and becomes the answer to his prayers.

Duncan has recently been laid-off and is desperate for a job. Taking a chance on another agency, he walks into the offices of Lynn Hall & Associates and Lynn hires him on the spot.

Sexual tension simmers between them but they’re hesitant to pursue it because Lynn’s the boss. When one fateful evening thrusts them into each other’s arms, they’re forced to acknowledge the very real attraction they feel toward one another.

Steamy nights and hot office liaisons lead to something more, but one lecherous client threatens their love and livelihood. Will Lynn lose his company and the man of his dreams?

He's the Boss

By J.D. Walker

Lincoln Hall was a frazzled business owner who desperately needed an assistant. A raven-haired, five-foot-nine beauty with soft, chocolate brown eyes, he turned heads wherever he went, and not just because he was lovely. Sometimes he dressed as a woman, and even when he dressed as a man, his features were so delicate, people often took a second look just to make sure. It was a blessing and a curse, but he was used to it. When he turned eighteen, Lincoln changed his name to Lynn as he thought it was better suited to his fluid nature.

He owned a small employment agency, working with companies of all sizes to recruit highly qualified individuals for administrative positions. Unfortunately for Lynn, he couldn’t seem to keep his own staff in line.

If it wasn’t one thing, it was another. His assistant would call in sick or disappear to who knows where for hours on end, and then return to the office without a word of explanation.

It was a good thing Lynn could handle the office on his own for the most part, if he had to. Sometimes things got hairy, but he was used to that. The point of having an assistant, though, was that he shouldn’t have to. How could he grow his business if he was constantly answering the phone and filing papers?

Late one afternoon, Lynn was finishing up a contract to take with him to a dinner meeting with a new client when he realized the outer office was quiet—too quiet, in fact. He couldn’t hear his assistant tapping away at the keyboard, or the constant stream of put-upon sighs.

Oh, no, not again. Lynn moaned.

Scott Truitt had only been working there for a week and already the man was driving Lynn crazy. Scott couldn’t focus on anything for more than five minutes, and he had to be spoon-fed information. Not an ounce of independent thought existed in his brain. He would be fired soon.

Scott! Lynn yelled.

If Scott didn’t get his ass in gear, Lynn would be late and that wasn’t a good precedent to set with a brand new client. Lynn had asked Scott to type up a cover letter ten minutes ago and
