One Hot December by Tiffany Reisz
4.0

.
Never sleep with your boss!
Of course they both broke that rule 6 months ago and Ian ended it in a coldly efficient manner. Flash isn't one to take that kinda thing lying down and has pulled pranks on him and generally given him a hard time since then. Now she is in his office to tell him she's quitting.

Ian kinda panicks. He can't just let her walk away!

This is one of those rare second chance stories where the H really did have a good reason and he was super apologetic. It sucked sure. But he really didn't have a choice.
So the story moves on to Flash's insecurities about the disparity in their status'. And they are given weight, but not so much as to sink the story.
I absolutely loved how Ian stood up to his father about Flash. And like everything with this author, it wasn't a predictable cliche conversation.
I love this author's writing style. Her dialogue is so witty I am always envious.
There's quite a bit of sex, but it's realistic and inventive at the same time. Plus even then there is wit that pushes the story forward.
There's a bit of a misunderstanding at the end, but it made sense and they actually communicated.

Safety is good
SpoilerThey both dated while apart but I think they were both celibate. Flash had a hickey from some other guy but no sex. Ian didn't even kiss them. They were ladies his father set him up with... You know, daughters of business associates. He wasn't interested.
