Executive assistant Lily St. Claire and studio executive Declan Maguire have secretly been attracted to each other ever since Lily came to work for Rockline Studios, but their employer has an unofficial policy forbidding intra-office dating. Lily wants to transfer to a different department, but her boss blocked her application a year ago and she's afraid to try again. When Declan learns that Lily's boss is preventing her from transferring, he decides to try and help her. Aside from the fact that he thinks she's too talented to be stuck in her current position with no chance of advancement, selfishly, he realizes that it would no longer be against the rules for him to ask her out if she worked for a different department. Of course, these things take time, and there are never any guarantees. When Declan sees Lily at their company's famously glamorous, romantic New Year's Eve party, will he be able to stop himself from confessing his feelings for her then and there, no matter the consequences?
I really enjoyed this funny, sweet novella and read the whole thing in one sitting. Declan and Lily were both likeable protagonists and it was easy for me to root for them to overcome the obstacles standing in their way. I had to laugh because they seemed to be the only ones who didn't know about their mutual crush; in fact, their colleagues had been placing bets on how long it would be before they finally started dating.
I recommend this story for all fans of contemporary romance and romantic comedy and look forward to the next book in the series.

I've had a crush on my co-worker Declan since the day I started working at Rockline Studios. Trust me, if you could see this man, you'd have a crush on him too.
It's been two years since my first day of work... two years since my head has been filled with fantasies and daydreams about the things I could do to him. Two years of.... SITTING BY AND DOING NOTHING because dating within the office is forbidden, frowned upon, something we're not supposed to do.
The night of Rockline's infamous New Year's Eve party changes everything.
Will my new years wish finally come true?
