Synopsis
Bad girl criminal defense attorney, Jena McCade, has finally found her bad boy sexual equal. Professional hockey player, Tommy "Wild Man" Brodie is everything she's ever wanted in a man. He's gorgeous, he's incredibly talented…and he's temporary! Still, when Tommy shows up on her doorstep after being injured, Jena can't resist offering him some very physical therapy…
…and he can work wonders with ice!
Tommy wants out of the rat race--almost as badly as he wants Jena! Since their one-night stand, she's been on his mind and in his dreams. And now he finally has the sexy D.A. right where he wants her-- in his bed, exciting him, delighting him. The problem? Jena considers their relationship a fling…nothing more. But even Tommy knows that possession is nine-tenths of the law. And once he's stolen Jena's heart, she's not getting it back…

December 10, 2002: A one-night stand leaves both Tommy "Wild Man" Brodie and Jena McCade longing for more. He is a highly paid hockey player; she is a criminal defense attorney. Both are accustomed to working hard and playing equally as hard, never taking their sensual liaisons too seriously?until they meet each other. It has been three months since their sizzling night together, and both still fantasize about it. So when an injury takes Tommy off the ice, he decides recuperation at Jena's place is just what the doctor ordered. Jena decides that she needs a wife when she opens her door and finds Tommy on her doorstep. Her instant response ignites them both. Jena's sexual escapades have become legendary among her friends, and her sudden reticence in sharing her experience makes them all suspicious. Perhaps bad-girl Jena has finally met her match. Tommy is everything that Jena wants in a short-term affair, but she'd better decide quick if she wants something brief or if she is willing to risk for a whole lot more. Writing duo Tori Carrington live up to their blazing reputation with FIRE AND ICE, balancing steaming romance, hot erotica, rich character development and a delightful plot. While Jena and Tommy know from the beginning that they are perfect partners in bed, establishing an equal relationship proves much more challenging, especially with Jena making some rather stereotyped assumptions. Furthermore, Jena's struggle with career and personal demons reveal her vulnerabilities in a way that cannot help but endear her to readers' hearts. Fans will also welcome the return of Dulcy and Quinn from A STRANGER'S TOUCH. Carrington makes it difficult to wait for each new scintillating release, and readers will be left panting for the release of GOING TOO FAR in February 2003. Add FIRE AND ICE to your keeper shelf as it comes very highly recommended.
