I didn’t get to be CEO by playing nice. I’m cutthroat and ruthless—and yes, occasionally rude. But it gets the job done, and that’s all I care about.

My business partners disagree. They insist I need to improve my communication skills. That’s how I end up with Zoey Thomas shadowing me.

From the moment she steps into my office, I have one goal: ignore her until she quits. I don’t need anyone telling me how to conduct my business. I call the shots. Always.

But the more I push Zoey away, the more she insists. Frankly, she’s infuriating. She’s too chirpy, too sassy, and far too sexy. When we finally sit down to discuss how I could communicate better, I barely manage to pay attention. Instead, I fantasize about exploring her body all night long, and that won’t do.

I manage to keep my distance, right until she shows up at the boxing ring where I blow off steam. Outside the confines of the office, instinct takes over. I kiss her, then explore her in all the ways I imagined.

But Zoey Thomas is completely off-limits. She’s fun and walks around with her heart on her sleeve. I’m the exact opposite. Worse, I’m married to my work. Always have been and always will be. I can’t offer her what she wants.

But how am I supposed to let her walk away when all I want is to keep her?

For such a small town, Hummings Hollow is rife with danger and intrigue—especially for forty-year-old Angela Atkinson who despite her busy schedule can’t seem to keep her nose out of a good mystery; it doesn’t help that her faithful sidekick Ruff McPaw has an equally good nose for danger.

The Book of Five Rings is a text on kenjutsu and the martial arts in general, written by the Japanese swordsman Miyamoto Musashi around 1645.

Many translations have been made, and it enjoys an audience considerably broader than other martial artists and people across East Asia. For instance, some foreign business leaders find its discussion of conflict and taking the advantage to be relevant to their work in a business context. The modern-day Hyōhō Niten Ichi-ryū employs it as a manual of technique and philosophy.

Musashi establishes a "no-nonsense" theme throughout the text. For instance, he repeatedly remarks that technical flourishes are excessive, and contrasts worrying about such things with the principle that all technique is simply a method of cutting down one’s opponent. He also continually makes the point that the understandings expressed in the book are important for combat on any scale, whether a one-on-one duel or a massive battle. Descriptions of principles are often followed by admonitions to "investigate this thoroughly" through practice rather than trying to learn them by merely reading.
