Ice Into Fire
She equated love with heartache ...

After her parents' thirty-year marriage ended in a soul-searing separation, Fran promised herself she would avoid getting burned by love. No man would get under her skin.

However, one man managed to undo all the promises Fran made to herself-Evan Dowd, who mistrusted emotion as much as she did. But he understood desire! "If that's how you respond without any kind of involvement," he mused when passion flared between them, "how would you respond with it?"

"You'll never know!" Fran didn't want to get involved with him. But she was only human.

Hero: Evan Dowd
Heroine: Francesca "Fran" Williams
