Egomaniac

Ivy's first encounter with Drew Jagger involved her calling the police on him. She had just rented what she believed was a Park Avenue office, and when she found a stranger inside, she called for help and tried out her newly learned Krav Maga moves on him. He easily subdued her and seemed entertained by the whole scene. The stranger turned out to be the real tenant. He had gone away while his office was being remodeled, and a con artist had taken Ivy's ten thousand dollars by renting her a space that was never available.

After a long evening at the police station, Drew offered her a deal. If she answered his phones while his assistant was away, she could stay in the office until she found somewhere else. Ivy could not stop herself from arguing with him, especially after she overheard the advice he gave his clients. Her body kept reacting to their fights, which seemed to be the only thing they did well together.

The pair could hardly be more different. Drew tears apart relationships, and he is bitter, angry and absurdly attractive. Ivy's work is helping couples hold their marriages together. Aside from sharing an office, they have little in common, though a pull between them grows harder to ignore each day.
