Summary

If there's one thing Grace Colebrook cannot tolerate, it's hysterics. So when her fiancé betrays her on their wedding day, she refuses to make a scene. She simply walks away-- straight in the arms of a powerful stranger. The morning after, regrets fly. But life gets truly complicated when it turns out that the man lives in the apartment below hers.

Legendary ER doctor Jack Berenger is a man used to getting what he wants. And he doesn't want Grace Colebrook—or so he tells himself when he can't get her out of his mind. She's prim, passionate and unpredictable, a far cry from the ice queens who usually catch his eye. But most of all, she breaks through the hard shell he has built around himself . . . filling him with a burning hunger to possess her.

At once deeply moving and wildly romantic, two unforgettable people find each other in a world turned upside-down. Now Jack has one final chance to open his heart and prove he can be the sort of man a woman like Grace could love....
