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.<br /><br />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.<br /><br />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.<br /><br />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.<br /><br />REVISED EDITION: Previously published in 2012 as Guarding Her Heart, this edition of Warming Her Heart includes substantial editorial revisions.<br />
