The Good Assistant And Next Contemporary Romance Stories

By Cynthia Sax on November 12, 2015

I have great news! Originally, I had planned to release Seducing My Billionaire Boss, the follow up standalone story to The Good Assistant and One Night With My Billionaire Master, as a single story (the cover is below).

However, I was approached to contribute a story to a boxed set. This boxed set will be sold for 99 cents, the same price as my single stories. So I figured I’d add Seducing My Billionaire Boss to the boxed set. You’ll receive this story and several others for 99 cents. Yes, that’s a bargain! I’m all about value for my reading buddies.

Seducing My Billionaire Boss will feature Robert Reyes. Logan Ross mentions him in One Night With My Billionaire Master. Robert is the friend who contributes a donation to Arianna’s charity. Robert is also the CFO of Powers Corporation, John Powers’ company (John Powers is the hero in The Good Assistant).

I also have a short story (30 pages long) appearing in another boxed set in January and a novella (100 pages) releasing in March. I’ll give you more details (buy links, etc) once I have them.

My boss, John Powers, represents everything I want in a man. He’s the CEO and founder of a powerful company, that position having made him a billionaire, striking in an I-survived-a-bar-brawl sort of way, and too clever for my sanity.

I’m his assistant and desperately in love with him. I’d willingly serve him both in the boardroom and in the bedroom.

There’s one problem.

He doesn’t mix business with pleasure.

Ever.

The Good Assistant – Toronto, City Hall And Ghosts

By Cynthia Sax on November 5, 2015

One of the secondary characters in The Good Assistant is the (fictional) Mayor Of Toronto. The Mayor, of course, works out of City Hall.

The current City Hall is situated in the heart of downtown. Inaugurated in 1965, it was designed by Finnish architect Viljo Revell (who unfortunately died before it was completed).

The space in front of City Hall is often used for concerts (including the New Year’s Eve celebrations). Residents wade in the reflecting pool during the summer and skate on it during the winter. I worked close to City Hall and my coworkers and I would skate on lunch hours.

If you ask where Toronto’s City Hall is, residents should know that this is the building you’re referring to. They might ask for clarification, however. Toronto, like many big cities, used to consist of many different Burroughs or smaller towns. It has amalgamated these smaller neighborhoods into a larger city. That means there are many former City Halls.

There’s even a former City Hall situated right next to the current City Hall. Called ‘Old City Hall’, this Romanesque Revival building was inaugurated in 1899. The Ontario Court of Justice is its current tenants. When you pass, you might see happy brides and grooms having their photos taken in front of the building. It is designated a National Historic Site.

For paranormal lovers, Old City Hall is said to be haunted by several ghosts. (http://www.torontoghosts.org/index.php?/2008081476/The-Former-City-Of-Toronto-Public-Buildings/Old-City-Hall.html ) Especially haunted is Courtroom 33, where you might, just might, see the ghosts of the last men condemned to hang in Canada.

Why I Love Boss-Assistant Romances

By Cynthia Sax on October 28, 2015

In The Good Assistant, Trella, the heroine, is the assistant to her hunky billionaire boss, John Powers.

In most organizations I’ve worked for, assistant to the CEO is the second most powerful position in the company. In one of the world’s largest beverage companies, the assistant position is a training role for future executives. Ambitious employees, both male and female, will do almost anything to land that position.

Why? Because this person sees and hears everything the CEO does. Everyone the CEO meets, the assistant meets. Often CEOs will discuss confidential decisions with their assistants because they know they can trust these assistants to say nothing. As we see in The Good Assistant, assistants supply their executives with information. Which information assistants select will influence the outcome of decisions.

There’s (usually) mutual respect and admiration. Yes, the boss is still the boss but the assistant was hand chosen because she/he has potential to be the boss, to be his/her business equal.

Boss-assistant romances are similar to a friends to lovers situation. There’s a healthy non-sexual relationship that neither person wants to destroy. They sincerely like each other.

It is natural that feelings would grow, especially since self-made billionaire bosses spend most of their time at work. These bosses work long hours, usually seven days a week. They’re as passionate about their businesses as writers are about writing and readers are about reading. They find joy in business building.

No one understands this better than his or her assistant. Assistants often work the same hours. If their bosses are working on a Saturday, they’re working on a Saturday. They do this because it is expected but also because they often have the same passion for the business. They don’t need hobbies. Work is their fun.

Acting on this attraction is a big risk, one neither person would take lightly. They might destroy their relationship. The boss is making himself/herself vulnerable to a lawsuit (this is why many companies have anti-fraternization rules). The assistant might lose her/his professional reputation (The business community is small. People talk.) A wise person would only take this step if the relationship was serious, a forever type of relationship.

This is why I love boss-assistant romances.
