    Summary

    Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, my client is innocent. Melissa King is a woman of evidence. Of structure. As a doctor, she lives by "do no harm."

    When she asked her married colleague to pose as her boyfriend, she had thought it was safe because... well. Locks. His door was locked.

    But here she was. A full time nanny desperately trying not to fall for her boss.

    She watched Tanner and Maddie surround their dad, shrieking in joy as he reached down to tickle whatever limbs he could reach. He looked up with a crooked grin, hair flopping in front of his eyes and gave Mel a quick wink.

    Summary

    He told her once that she was the only editor who didn’t try to wring the wild out of him. She liked that. She would have told him to reuse the phrase in a column if she wasn’t selfish enough to keep it for herself.

    Langdon is the star columnist of popular wilderness adventure magazine The Backpacker. Mel is the editor who helps him stay that way.

    When Langdon starts blowing through deadlines and stops answering calls, Mel decides the best course of action is to meet him where he's at.
