I've just landed my dream job as the head chef for Vancouver's premier wedding venue, Blue Vista Events. I don't have time to date. But my sister has other plans, dragging me to a bar, and making me promise that if a smoking hot guy asks me to dance, I'll say yes.Enter Spencer Cole.Gorgeous, funny, and an amazing dancer, he ignites an instant connection that leads to a one-night stand leaving me wanting more. The next day, my world tilts when I discover he's the event coordinator at Blue Vista, so I end it before it begins. Rule #1: No dating co-workers.

The three items are in good condition, lightly aged. ONE: TLS, 15 March 1907. 4pp., 4to. He is sending a copy (i.e. Item Three below) of 'a complete statement of what has taken place up to date. In fact it is the actual statement I placed before my Solicitor this afternoon [] Of course this is what we might have expected from these people, and it does not come as a very great surprise. | It is a direct attempt to get out of their obligations, as they have done before, as they can get this new man, and have got him at something like £500 a year without an interest'. He explains that the previous afternoon he 'was asked by Sutton over the telephone to hand over the department to Leslie Wilson, but I thought that before doing this, I would see exactly what my legal position in the matter was, and whether my acquiescing in this would prejudice my case.' He names two firms of solicitors he cannot consult because of their association with Amalgamated Press, and gives details of the firm he has chosen, Fraser & Co., together with the opinion of 'Mr. Fraser' that 'Sutton's telphone message of yesterday afternoon instructing me to hand over the department to Leslie Wilson was tantamount to instant dismissal, as I have not yet received my notice'. He reports Fraser's advice on how to proceed, and asks 'to know now what you think I had better do [] Everybody who knows me thinks they are behaving disgracefully, but that it is only typical of them, and the only consolation one gets from people is "what did you expect".' He does not believe 'for one moment that they intend to stop the cloth covers, but what they would dearly love and what they will never get is my resignation'. They should not 'worry over this affair', as he is 'particularly bright', has 'these people on the hip', and is 'determined to make them pay for stealing my idea'. He reports that 'Lord Northwick is at present away, and can do nothing about the affair, he does not return for another six or eight weeks.' He turns to 'Derwent' (1891-1971), the son of his brother the novelist Hall Caine, who, having commenced on an acting career, is 'sending out letters broadcast to all the managers, past, present and future, and having exhausted all the second and third class managers is now circulating the "fit ups"', and will write to them himself to tell them 'how "The Prodigal" is going'. He ends by reassuring them that he 'will not be out of a job for I think Mr. Gruneisen has discovered a man willing to put up £5,000 to £10,000 to back the Frank Lovell scheme of publishing [Lovell, was a New York publisher noted for his cheap editions], and a literary agent with a great many well-known authors is willing to find us all the novels we require'. TWO: TLS, 18 April 1907. 2pp., 4to. He begins by expressing astonishment at the mystery of how Northcliffe 'or his people discovered that I had consulted a Solicitor [] I feel strongly that this is only an excuse to help them out of an otherwise hopeless situation. However, I think that an interview between Northcliffe and yourself might go a long way towards settling a dispute without the necessity of bringing the matter before a Judge and Jury'. He announces that he intends to postpone his trip to America until the autumn, as he would like 'to fix up with you and Mrs Humphrey Ward before leaving. I have already placed a proposal before Mrs Ward for her new book, and I believe she is very much inclined to look favourably upon it.' He next turns to Helen Mathers, who has 'practically decided to put her Novel with us.' He expects to hear from Mathers in the following days. While he anticipates 'having no difficulty in obtaining good works', he would like to see them 'and Mr. Sears together'. He ends with news of 'Derwent', who is 'doing nothing until your return'. THREE: Typed 'statement' referred to in Item One above. Undated. 3pp., 4to. Beginning: 'Early in September I proposed to Lord Northcliffe two schemes, one for publishing 2/6 no.…
