Saul Parenti always demands the best. That's why he's hired Giselle Freeman to work for him. Nicknamed the Ice Queen, Giselle has a frosty demeanor and a cool beauty. Yet it's obvious to Saul that beneath the Arctic facade lies fiery passion!

Ever since the traumas of her early childhood, Giselle has built walls of steel around her heart. Now she's working with the only man who can challenge those defenses. Their sexual attraction is at boiling point. The only possible outcome--an all-consuming, earth-shattering, life-changing surrender!

The Reluctant Surrender is part one of Penny Jordan's enthralling duet story. Look for part two, Giselle's Choice, available February 2010!
