After being unjustly fired from her last job, Arlington “Arlie” Banks can hardly believe it when she is contacted about a job at Kane Foods International. Arlie is well acquainted with the Kane family as her mother was the family’s housekeeper and she ran in the same circle as the Kane twins, Samuel and Mason. When she arrives for the interview, it is Samuel Kane who interviews her, and he immediately hires her. Of course, he asks about her last job, but Arlie has no plans to discuss what happened. It is too painful for her to discuss.

What Arlie doesn’t know is that Samuel has an ulterior motive for hiring her. He has been in an intense competition with Mason over their father, Parker, who treats Mason better than Samuel. There is a strict “no sleeping with fellow employees” in the company rules, so Samuel is hoping to lure his playboy twin into bedding Arlie. Of course, he doesn’t tell her that, nor does it appease the deep-down feelings that he has always carried for her. As he starts the wheels rolling, Samuel soon realizes that he wants Arlie for himself. Will he end up ensnaring himself in his own web of deceit?

There’s some intrigue going in CORNER OFFICE CONFESSIONS by Cynthia St. Aubin. Arlie was attracted to nerdy Samuel growing up, but he was too shy to approach her. Turns out he was attracted to her but let his more gregarious brother chase the girl he wanted. But Arlie never showed interest in Mason, which makes Samuel’s plan to force them together a poorly crafted one. It takes two to tangle, and Arlie wasn’t interested. But seeing Mason around Arlie has Samuel seeing red and wanting her for himself. Will he break the rules and bed her?

Arlie’s firing from her last job was just a big misunderstanding and an oops moment. Yes, she made the mistake, but the company went after her and she lost a lawsuit. One can see why she never wants to discuss it again. But her past comes back to haunt her when someone from her old company recognizes her and promptly blackmails her. After all, Kane Foods International doesn’t know about her miscues at her last job. Will it cause problems later in this tale? Will she give in to the blackmailer? Meanwhile, Arlie’s feelings for Samuel grow and she’s soon falling in love with him. But the man has a lot on his mind, so will he tell her that he loves her too?

Love in the boardroom and beyond is the theme for CORNER OFFICE CONFESSIONS, the first tale in The Kane Heirs series. Can Arlie and Samuel meet in the middle and find love together? Find out by picking up a copy of this book.
