Contains 2 stories: **Story 1: Hajimete Shitta Koi Dakara (based on Jessica Steele's *The Bachelor's Bargain*)** It was Jarad Montgomery who picked Merren up and dusted her down after she'd been mugged. He even offered to replace her stolen money. Merren was determined to repay Jarad, and he was happy to suggest a solution: be his steady girlfriend for a year! At first, Merren reckoned she'd got the better part of their bargain -- being escorted by Jarad was no hardship -- until he decided that their deal included other duties as well! **Story 2: Hisho no Kokuhaku (based on Beverly Barton's *Getting Personal*)** Marianne Bennet, or "Bennie," has fallen in love with her boss, Holt Jackson. Five years have passed since she began working as his secretary, but she can't seem to get him to notice her in a romantic way. In order to get him to look her direction, Bennie takes some drastic measures...?
