Just His Partner by Donna Jeffries

She’s just his partner, because she’s seen the number of women he parades through his life. No amount of charm and good looks is worth being played…until Sabrina witnesses Jason take the blame for someone else at the law office where they both work.
Sabrina: Jason Finch has had no shortage of girlfriends—if you can even call the women he sees that. He’s tall, good-looking, incredibly intelligent, and always has the perfect comeback. He’s as polished as he is irritating, especially with the way he struts around the law firm where we work together, as if he owns the place.
He doesn’t, thank you very much.
We both made partner (even if I’m a junior partner and he’s a full partner) within same year, and I’ve managed to keep our relationship professional even with the late nights, the social events, and the close quarters at the office. Until I see him take the fall on a case that he barely touched.
Everything changes then, and when the managing partner at the firm comes down hard on him, I step in.
My boss trusts me, and when I vouch for Jason…he thinks we’re seeing each other. “I’m just his partner,” I say, not realizing (at the time) that the word “partner” can have a different meaning than the lawyerly one.
Jason is suddenly kind, appreciative, and…real. I can’t help thinking that our relationship could be more than a façade too.
Which makes me crazy. After all, no one actually turns the office playboy into marriage material.
Do they? Can I?
I’ve never shied away from a challenge, and I suddenly want to try taking myself from just his partner to his girlfriend.
