Monster boss. That’s what they call Jonathan Barnes, Boston’s most successful architect. They say he’s arrogant.
 Demanding.
 Impossible.
 Cruel.
They say his gorgeous exterior conceals a wicked core. Like the rambling Victorians he restores, Jonathan Barnes is a complicated, beautiful, mysterious man.
 He also famously fired three assistants in one day.
 But he’s the best at what he does, which is why I’m determined to make a good first impression. Sure, I’m starting out as his secretary, and I’m wearing my sister’s hand-me-downs because I can’t afford new clothes.
But I can hide my working class roots. If I can tame the monster, I might just get to use my architecture degree.
 It doesn’t matter that it’s Halloween on a Friday and my grad school friends are out celebrating. I’ve got one chance to show Jonathan Barnes I’m not afraid of him.
 Of course, I didn’t count on being stuck with him all night in a building rumored to be haunted.
I’ve never worried about things that go bump in the night. Bump and grind is a whole other story…
