Kate Mackenzie: works for Horrible Boss; has boyfriend who won't commit; thinks things can't get any worse. Until: Horrible Boss makes her fire Most Popular Employee and MPE sues Kate for wrongful termination. Now she has to face Mitch Hertzog, one of Manhattan's wealthiest lawyers . . . and nicest smiles. Just another day in the HR department.

Meet Kate Mackenzie. She:

• works for the T.O.D. (short for Tyrannical Office Despot, also known as Amy Jenkins, Director of the Human Resources Division at the New York Journal)
• is sleeping on the couch because her boyfriend of ten years refuses to commit
• can't find an affordable studio apartment anywhere in New York City
• thinks things can't get any worse.

They can. Because:

• the T.O.D. is making her fire the most popular employee in the paper's senior staff dining room
• that employee is now suing Kate for wrongful termination, and
• now Kate has to give a deposition in front of Mitch Hertzog, the scion of one of Manhattan's wealthiest law families, who embraces everything Kate most despises ... but also happens to have a nice smile and a killer bod.

The last thing anybody -- least of all Kate Mackenzie -- expects to find in a legal arbitration is love. But that's the kind of thing that can happen when ... Boy Meets Girl.
