But Blake refuses to leave because he’s determined to prove he’s more than a Big Screen Sex Machine by helping her train.

Soon their workouts ignite sensual sparks that neither of them can deny. Though Blake can’t promise Jessie more than a casual fling, he’s more than willing to release her inner vixen. And Jessie will indulge in this intoxicating fantasy if there’s a chance Blake’s touch will set her free to live the life she deserves.

But when this holiday fling ends will either of them be able to move on without their hearts shattering?
