SHE WAS AS COLD AS ICE... .

Or was she? Entrepreneur Mark Harding found Jacinth Norwood an absolute enigma. How could any woman seem so cool, yet awaken such passion in him? He knew that when she was in his embrace she was far from indifferent, but she refused to let down her guard and admit her true feelings.

They spent whole days working together in his small office, but he was no closer to understanding her now than when he'd first hired her. And the longer their relationship went on, the more frustrating he found the situation. Jacinth might be able to feign an indifference he was quite sure she no longer felt, but his own passion was quickly exceeding the limits of his control.
