Before I Melt Away

A steamy Christmas fling

''Tis the season to have fun, but personal chef Annabel Brightman isn''t having any! Her crazy business keeps her on the run catering dinners and parties for other people to enjoy. Her ex is engaged—to someone else. And as for sex—everything seems frozen inside. Until Quinn Garrett appears on her doorstep one chilly December night offering the promise of heat. Or the real thing?

He can''t get enough of her in bed, in the kitchen…. And he''s touched by this unexpected Christmas gift. Annabel is melting—falling hard for him, it seems. But has her heart truly thawed?
