A pretty face and a well shaped behind are often distractions for Micah Johnson. But, nothing short of a nuclear blast will sidetrack him from his current objective: To find out who is leaking bid information to his most bitter competitor. His new secretary, Emma Bowers, seems the most obvious suspect. She has access to the bid information, and she began working at Benjamin-Micah Construction right about the time his bitter enemy began to outbid them by a very narrow margin. Micah decides to use his charms on Emma to find out what he wants to know. In his experience women talk their heads off once you get them into the sack. The two problems he faces, however, is the dislike she seems to hold for him, and that she apparently already has a boyfriend, Micah's own construction foreman. Emma left her previous employment under difficult circumstances. Her fiancé/employer accused her of mishandling important documents. Her co-worker set her up so she could take Emma's job and her boyfriend. She's lost faith in lasting relationships. Even her father was caught with another woman just two weeks after Emma's mother passed away. She left her hometown and came to Orlando to make a new start. The job foreman at Benjamin-Micah construction befriends her and makes things go smoothly at her new job. But it isn't long before he's baring his soul about his past. He swears her to secrecy, then professes his feelings for her. She agrees only to be his friend. She likes him a lot, though, and wants to help him resolve his differences with the family he believes abandoned him at birth. However, she's given her promise and cannot go back on it. She's anxious to prove to her new employers she's competent at what she does, and desperate to keep her own past a secret. Things get off to a bad start, though, when she mistakes one of her new bosses for a burglar and conks him in the head with a rock paperweight. Micah, away when his partner hired Emma, returns to Orlando unexpectedly one night when Emma's working late and in the office alone. He forgot to get a key to the construction compound and climbs the ten-foot chain link fence. Thinking everyone had gone home for the day, he breaks a window to get into the office trailer. How could Emma know he's not the burglar who's been breaking into area businesses of late? Thankfully, because he's exhausted and slightly inebriated the minor blow puts him out cold. His partner returns to escort Emma home and puts Micah to bed in the camper trailer inside the compound. She's grateful he doesn't' remember what happened the next morning. Too honest for her own good, Emma only keeps from blurting out her faux pas by remaining aloof and professional around Micah. However, he soon charms the pants off her, literally. And by the time she realizes he suspects her of bid rigging and collusion, she's deeply in love
