Secretary

Story

After a bout of illness, Lee Holloway moves back in with her dysfunctional family, ready to start anew. Despite a few strikes against her she applies for a secretarial position at the law office of E. Edward Grey. Although she's never had a job in her life, Lee is hired by the mysterious lawyer, who seems unconcerned by her lack of experience.


At first the work seems quite normal and boring - typing, filing and coffee-making - but Lee tries hard to please him, and her family are desperate for her to succeed. Slowly Lee and Mr. Grey embark on a more personal relationship behind closed doors, crossing lines of conduct into a deep realm of human sexuality, a unique love affair, in which the roles of dominance and submission suit both of them perfectly.


'Secretary' is a powerful and unique love story, bold unflinching humour and strange yet seductive eroticism help explore the notion that love doesn't always occur the way we might have expected....
