Ever since earning his accounting degree, Cody McIntyre has bounced from temp job to temp job. For almost a year now, he's been the receptionist at Coffee Brew Distributions, and his contract with them expires in exactly twelve days. Hoping to stay with the company, Cody has interviewed for a permanent position that's recently become available. If he gets it, not only will it save him the aggravation of having to find a new job, but he'll get to keep working with his awesome coworkers, especially fun, easy-going, and attractive Shane Wilson.
But when someone starts leaving flowers with special meanings on his desk every morning, Cody doesn't know what to think, and can't even begin to speculate who they're from. Considering how hard he's been crushing on Shane, he can only hope he gets good news sometime in the next twelve days, bright and beautiful as all the lovely flowers.
Will Cody find out who his secret admirer is? Or will he have to leave the company without solving the mystery?

Chapter 1Cody McIntyre, adjusting the strap of his messenger bag over his shoulder, sighs as he steps off the subway. His phone informs him he still has enough time to grab a coffee from the little bodega down the street he likes, but he’s cutting it close. Better than Starbucks. Cheaper and faster, too. Plus, it’s not far from his old high school, so he’s been going there for years and knows the owners. Always good to support a local family-run business. If it’s not too busy, Cody’ll be able to grab a bit of breakfast too, since he overslept and had to haul ass to make it to his train on time. Overslept takes too much of the blame off Cody. Played the “five more minutes” game with his alarm until the very last minute is more like it. At least he can say he won at the home stretch. Chuck
