NEMESIS (n)
1) An opponent or rival whom a person cannot best or overcome
2) A person's undoing
3) Joshua Templeman

Lucy Hutton, professional 'nice girl', prides herself on being loved by everyone at work - except for imposing, impeccably attired Joshua Templeman.

Trapped together in the world's shiniest shared office, they've become entrenched in an addictive rivalry. There's the Staring Game, The Mirror Game, The HR Game. Lucy can't let Joshua beat her at anything, especially when a huge promotion comes up for grabs.

This is her chance to finally get the better of the man she can't seem to get out of her office, or her head. If Lucy wins, she'll be Joshua's boss. If she loses, she'll resign. The race is on - and the real games have only just begun...
