It looks like the perfect solution to Linny: she needs work, her lawyer husband needs a secretary. She's sure that being at Wes's side by day... and in his arms by night... can only improve their marriage. Though at first Wes heartily disapproves of the arrangement, Linny presents a convincing case.

Once in the office, Wes sees Linny in an entirely new light, becoming increasingly amorous as he rediscovers her intellectual allure. She glories in his renewed desire. But when misunderstandings at home follow them to the job... and vice versa... she begins to wonder if too much togetherness will turn the bonds of their love into ties that bind.
