About the Author:

From Booklist:

Office romance is alive and well at Atlantic Energy, a global oil company based in London. Although petroleum products are no longer the fuel du jour, romantic adventures are enjoying a prominent place on the corporate agenda. Take Stella Bradberry, for example. One of the few female executives at AE, she is quickly moving up the corporate ladder. Despite a cushy salary, a husband of 20 years, and two children, she finds herself embroiled in a passionate affair with her 20-year-old assistant, Rhys. And then there is Bella Chambers, a young single mother who works as a personal assistant at the company and is having an affair with her high-stakes-player boss, James. As these relationships move toward their inevitable conclusions, readers are given a front-row seat to the urgent e-mails, the frantic text messages, and the growing anxiety of two hardworking women who have lost control over their lives and themselves. In Office Hours is a smart, funny, head-shaking look at the shady side of the corporate street and the behavior of those who inhabit it. --Carol Gladstein
