Samantha DuPont came face to face with her family and Nicolas Forrester again for the first time in six years at her father’s graveside. All the memories came rushing back and the reason why she left under a cloud of shame six years ago. When their eyes met desire slammed through Nicolas even though he did not recognize the beautiful black haired woman on the other side of the grave. Samantha immediately felt the electric surge and realized her feelings for the hunk of a man was still hidden deep in her heart. Her father's devious will forced her to accept the shares in the company or Nicolas would lose it all. It was not enough that she had to work side by side with him daily, they had to share a house for 12 months. Nicolas made it clear to Samantha that he wanted her and he set out to seduce her ruthlessly, but the secret she harbored in her heart about what really chased her away six years ago was a bigger barrier than he could ever have realized. Samantha was a strong willed woman, and had no intention of giving in to the demanding and gorgeous man who set her juices flooding her panties with just a look and did everything in her power to keep from jumping his bones every time he was near. He refused to be denied and once she moved in with him, he pursued her mercilessly and set out to make Samantha overcome all her fears and love him with a passion that took his breath away. His unselfishness, yet possessiveness drove her in his arms time and time again and the passion between them exploded once he broke the barriers down. The past came back to haunt them once again and Nicolas was terrified of losing her forever.
