Class Act

Class Act, Romance Australia

Single and sick of it, Gina is looking for a decent long-term relationship in this city new to her. She's headhunted for deputy at an international business college, and her new workaholic boss couldn't possibly meet her exacting criteria. Especially as they have a history: she recalls them at high school together, their fierce competition in class and in the swimming pool, arguments alongside a budding attraction.

Tragedies at age seventeen means they lose touch; she believes he holds a secret to do with her family that she has a right to know.  He worries whether he can, or should, keep this secret while working with her. She worries that what he could tell her may be too upsetting. Meanwhile, at work she clashes with him over his autocratic management style, while undercurrents of their old rivalry surge between them. 

Are they now mature enough to cope with each other? And can they maintain the barrier between the professional and the personal?
