It Began with a Man in an Office

After her break-up, Nikki gets a new job, happy to be leaving the unpleasant past behind. For the most part, people at Pace's Preserves are very nice. Except for Seager McBride, who is the most conceited man she's ever had the misfortune to meet. Fortunately, they work in different departments so her interaction with him is limited. Until the company president decides to send everyone, which includes Seager McBride, on a team-building retreat.
Seager would rather work than attend a retreat, and when he learns his teammate for the week will be none other than Nikki Garfield, who walks around Pace's with her nose stuck in the air, he tries everything in his power to get out of it. When he fails to convince the boss to let him stay behind, he tells himself he can deal with Ms. Snooty for five days, then he'll never have to speak to her again. What he fails to take into consideration is fate.
