I love the archive room of the museum. Every time I step foot inside, I can almost sense the magic radiating from those ancient artifacts. Like I hold the world's answers and anything could happen. So, when my boss asks me to work in there for a week, I should be over the moon, right? Except there's a big dark cloud raining on my parade: Mason Scott. A fine specimen for sure, but his good looks match the level of irritation I feel for him. Being stuck in that small space together, sharing the same oxygen and having to talk to each other seems dreadful, and frankly, I don’t think I'll even survive. Mason is so infuriating that laying eyes on him is enough to make my skin prickle and my heart race. But when a cyber-attack traps us in the dark basement, conversation flows easily and there's no trace of the cocky conservator who chases skirts as much as historical treasures.
