Hold my calls, people. I'm formatting my new laptop.
This is a nice cover for Office Affair by Mark West. The novel is an entry in the office sleaze genre, and the story is focused on a love triangle and business sabotage. Basically, an exec gets two new women on his staff but when things start to go wrong with his business he needs to find out which one is on his side, and which is trying to torpedo him to advance her own career. We've featured many of these on the website and we're not likely to run out soon. West contributed at least a couple. You can see another example from him here, and an entire collection from various authors here. This one is copyright 1961, with art by unknown.

You know what's ironic? My husband keeps saying he wants longer harder hours out of you.
Above, Al Rossi cover art for Mark West's His Boss' Wife, for Beacon Books, about a traveling sales team peddling magazines from city to city, and the new hire who comes aboard and soon gets in too deep, so to speak, with various women, including his employer's femme fatale spouse. West was a pseudonym, used in this case by Charles Runyon, who also wrote Office Affair and Object of Lust. 1962 copyright.
