Marrying the Boss

When the perfect business accessory… is a wife!

Before WiFi, before thumb drives, before the Internet, there was Toolshop Software – so named because the business was even smaller and shakier than the proverbial start-up tech company we've all heard about – the one that was born in a garage. Yeah, that one.

But a nerd will always be a nerd, and Keir Saunders, the genius founder of Toolshop, is first and foremost a nerd. Even if his messy hair sometimes makes office manager Jessica Bennington consider running her fingers through it. Even if his five o'clock shadow is really-sexy stubble. He's not exactly hard on the eyes, even if his own are sometimes bloodshot from debugging code – though he is hard on office managers.

Jessica's fondest wish is for Keir to join the real world… though she'd settle for him answering his phone calls.

But when Keir is offered the deal of a lifetime, he decides to grow up and settle down, complete with the perfect business accessory – a wife. And Jessica gets more than she bargained for, because Keir's convinced that the perfect person to deal full-time with a genius is… His office manager.

Marrying the Boss is an accidental historical, set in the dark ages of early personal computers (also known as 1996).
