MR. OCTOBER... Commanding corporate tycoon: Hell-bent on protecting his family's interests, Jordan Westcott never counted on crossing paths with the most beguiling beauty he'd ever met.... Virgin spitfire: Like a lioness protecting her lair, she wasn't about to let anything - or anyone - sabotage her precious labor of love.

Was it foolhardy for Mistral to relinquish her carefully guarded virtue to this magnificent man of mystery - or would it be the true fulfillment of her deepest desire? MAN OF THE MONTH: With sheer prowess, he set out to tame the wildest heart of all!
