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; and 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; and 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 a legal arbitration is love. But that's the kind of thing that can happen when . . . Boy Meets Girl.
