When Ellie Sherwood rescues her boss from drowning, she never anticipates the consequences. For three years she's existed in an emotional limbo after a catastrophic family tragedy, but now she's awake and ready to seize life with both hands. And that includes the sexy boss she's been secretly infatuated with for some time.

Drake Crawford is about to achieve his lifelong goal when a car accident plays havoc with his life. Not only is his plan for revenge delayed, but his once demure personal assistant is now shockingly, irresistibly forward. Drake is against office affairs, and Ellie is vital to his success, but he can't get her out of his mind, and besides, he does owe her...

His solution—a two-week break with Ellie at his wilderness hideout. They'll indulge in a scorching, private affair, and when it's over they'll return to their normal lives. But as Drake discovers more about Ellie, he realises her quiet exterior hides a backbone of steel. When she asks him to walk away from his ultimate goal, he knows it's time to let her go.
