   Emma Corrigan, a twenty-five-year-old marketing assistant, has a few secrets: she is a size twelve and not eight as she told her boyfriend Connor, whom she secretly calls Ken (as in Ken and Barbie) and whom she is not in love with. She is not comfortable wearing G strings, and she feeds her mean colleague Artemis's plant orange juice ... among many other things. Flying back from her first business trip in Glasgow, Emma believes she is about to die: the plane is caught in huge turbulences, and she confides all her secrets to the man in the next seat ...
   
   Safely back in London, Emma is so surprised by Connor asking her to move in with her that she accepts. A bigger surprise awaits her at work on the following day: the man who founded Panther, the company she works for, is visiting for the week. It turns out he is the man who was next to her on the plane, the receiver of her innermost secrets. And it also turns out Emma is not the only one to have secrets ...

   Living in London, Emma is a junior marketing consultant for Panther Cola and is hoping for a promotion. Unfortunately, her fist solo assignment does not go smoothly and, on her fretful flight home from Scotland (she's convinced the plane is going to crash), she ends up confessing her innermost secrets to the handsome American sitting next to her. As luck would have it for this hapless heroine, she meets him later when he's introduced as Jack Harper, CEO of Panther Cola, while touring the company's British branch. Of course, he remembers Emma -- and all her secrets! Besides this terrible corporate surprise, Emma struggles with her feelings for boyfriend Connor and coping with her flatmates Lissy and Jemima. The next few weeks bring emotional turmoil for Emma as she encounters humiliation, romance and, finally, trust. Readers looking for humor and romance will appreciate Emma and Jack.
