Now that she's back in his life, he will do anything to recapture her heart. Melisa still has feelings for Heat, but when he confesses his love for her, she fears her secrets from the past will destroy any hopes of a future together. *** "Dori Lavelle writes romance with the sort of quiet precision that only those who have mastered the craft can achieve. Her books are quilts, unfolding slowly to find her protagonists happy, and while hot enough to warm you up on even the coldest of nights, the love kept between the pages is much like the love we find in real-life-mercurial, unhurried, and unbelievably satisfying."-Ashley Mackler-Paternostro, author of The Milestone Tapes
