Dane Sanders was a great boss. He was sexy; he whistled. He even brought Heath candy the first time they had to stay late working at Pristine Mortgage. Unfortunately, all that changed the night Snowstorm Satan, or whatever they named it, hit the suburbs of DC.

But Dane lets out a few juicy secrets, and after their escape down an icy hill proves frightening, Heath starts to think there's a lot he doesn't know about his sexy new boss. When the two find themselves trapped at work with only beer and microwave dinners to get them through, everything changes, and Heath and Dane get some rather interesting ideas on how to stay warm in a snow storm.
