Book excerpt: 'Tis the season for an office romance! Her dream job. His last chance. Working as a team will make their wishes come true, but at what price? Working beyond 9 to 5 and barely getting by, Melanie Thomas is eager to celebrate the impending holiday season and to toast the start of her dream marketing job over drinks with her boyfriend. Unfortunately, he has different plans—like seeing other women. Indulging in a pity party with tequila, Melanie confides in a sexy stranger at the bar. It’s almost Christmas, one night of letting go won’t hurt anything, right? Turns out it just might—when the stranger is her new boss. Determined to succeed at her job, Melanie won’t be scared away. This is her chance, even if her hot boss has her feeling all merry and bright and wishing for a less than professional relationship. Matthew Ryans is burned out and on thin ice at the company he helped build. He needs to get his head back in the game. Yet, his head, both upper and lower, are quickly becoming obsessed with his new assistant. Still, he can’t seem to fully begrudge Melanie’s distracting presence and the Christmas joy she brings. Especially considering that her enthusiasm has him reenergized like never before. For once, he is longing for Mondays, but with his heart and job on the line he can’t risk blurring the lines no matter how strong the lure of holiday mistletoe. Will their holiday passion be able to fuel mutual career success, or will it only get in their way in the New Year?

Download or read book Sex and the Office written by Julie Berebitsky and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2012-03-27 with total page 439 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this engaging book—the first to historicize our understanding of sexual harassment in the workplace—Julie Berebitsky explores how Americans’ attitudes toward sexuality and gender in the office have changed from the 1860s, when women first took jobs as clerks in the U.S. Treasury office, to the present. Berebitsky recounts the actual experiences of female and male office workers; draws on archival sources ranging from the records of investigators looking for waste in government offices during World War II to the personal papers of Cosmopolitan editor Helen Gurley Brown and Ms. magazine founder Gloria Steinem; and explores how popular sources—including cartoons, advertisements, advice guides, and a wide array of fictional accounts—have represented wanted and unwelcome romantic and sexual advances. By giving sex in the office a history, she provides valuable insights into the nature and meaning of sexual harassment today.

It might not be the Titanic, thank goodness, but Eve Richard's heart is sinking by the minute and love is definitely going down. Adam Seager, a Pulitzer-prize-winning war journalist turned small-town newspaperman, has given up a lot for his work, country, and family, but not this time. He knows what he wants, and it's his coworker, Eve. Her smile is the brightest part of his day and a daily reminder that more adventures are yet to come. When they are both assigned a travel feature onboard a new cruise ship, it's the perfect opportunity to let his feelings set sail. Eve will never date another coworker or writer again. Been there, done that! Time to pursue her own writing dreams, even if it means bunking with the infuriating and complicated Adam Seager. So what if the butterflies he sets off in her belly can rival the waves outside their cabin. She intends to keep things strictly professional ... that is, as much as they can be while also pretending to be a couple. Their relationship might be fake, but the pull to get to know more of him is real. Her reporter's gut says there is more to uncover than meets the eye.

Download or read book Finding Love from 9 to 5 written by Jane Merrill and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2010-09-16 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Employees of both sexes share the work environment, and a mishandled office romance can be disastrous for love, a life partnership, or a career. Avoid the pitfalls of love-at-work—from the corner office to the online "friend"—with this 21st-century guide. The typical workplace offers constant opportunities for face-to-face communication and social interaction. Individuals within a work environment have common experiences, share the same frustrations or feelings, and can easily garner details about one another from simple observation and casual conversation. It is not surprising that workplace romances happen so frequently, making it a topic of great interest to far more individuals than those who work in Human Resources departments. Finding Love from 9 to 5: Trade Secrets of Office Romance is not about workplace misbehavior. It's about love relationships that begin—and sometimes end—on company time, regardless of whether these individuals work in the same physical environment or not. Powerful emotions can and do ignite via a virtual connection as easily as in an actual shared workplace environment—real relationships spark in either context. This book is for anyone who has fallen in or out of love in the workplace, the single person who is dreaming of or on the brink of an office romance, and colleagues and supervisors who must learn to live and work among those involved in "in-house" relationships.

I just wanted no-strings-attached sex to celebrate my new job. It was a simple plan that should have gone with zero consequences. This means the guy doesn’t end up as my new coworker, he doesn't end up as my new employer's son, and he sure as heck doesn’t end up as someone who I have to compete with to keep my job. To be honest, it could have all been worth it had we actually done the deed. But no, now I’m left assigned to the office next to his with memories of his hands on my body and his perfect smell and the way he wears a suit and … clearly no time to focus on my actual work.

However, I am curious as to why the son of the company has to compete for this job to begin with.
