Melting Her Heart

Eight years ago, Elena Anderson had been saved from certain rape by the brother of one of her attackers – the only sober man in a bunch of drunk revelers from a bachelor party gone bad. Now, after years of hard work, therapy, and strong friendships, she is a cool and confident division manager in a major corporation. When the beloved CEO of the company chooses to step down for health reasons, he appoints Jake Mason to take his place – the man who had rescued Elena years ago, and one of the last people in the world she ever wants to see again.

Jake has no idea that he has a history with Elena. To him, she is a coolly competent member of his management staff, and a beautiful enigma. To Elena, working with Jake is nothing short of torture. He's smart, kind, handsome, and incredibly sexy, but she can't see past her long-ago experience with him, and resents his presence in her workplace as a constant reminder of a night she would love to forget.

Despite the baggage and misunderstandings that accompany their shared past, there is a growing attraction that develops between them – an attraction that Elena is absolutely determined to ignore. Still, she slowly starts to realize that Jake is, at heart, a decent man, just as he is realizing that a frightening experience lies behind Elena's icy demeanor.

With their past standing between them, the emotional consequences of that one night will ultimately bring two hurting hearts together, or tear them apart forever.
