Meet Kate Mackenzie. She:

• Works for the T.O.D. (short for Tyrannical Office Despot, also known as Amy Jenkins, Director of the Human Resources Division at the New York Journal).
• Is sleeping on the couch because her boyfriend of ten years refuses to commit.
• Can't find an affordable studio apartment anywhere in New York City.
• Thinks things can't get any worse.

They can. Because:

• The T.O.D. is making her fire the most popular employee in the paper's senior staff dining room.
• That employee is now suing Kate for wrongful termination.
• Now Kate has to give a deposition in front of Mitch Hertzog, the scion of one of Manhattan's wealthiest law families, who embraces everything Kate most despises ... but also happens to have a nice smile and a killer bod.

The last thing anybody—least of all Kate Mackenzie—expects to find in legal arbitration is love. But that's the kind of thing that can happen when... Boy meets girl.
