Harvard-educated corporate attorney Jasmine "Jae" Phillips promised herself that she wouldn't date anyone at the office. She's too focused on the job, and her meh dating history can be summed up with a shrug. Then came Brad Summers.

Their conversation makes her feel alive, fascinating, and fun, and the lonely Jae can't help but bask in Brad's attention. Soon Jae is breaking her never-date-at-the-office rule.
