A MODERN APOLLO — Actor Jason Banning was a work of art: exquisite, flawless and sexy as all get-out. He was also a thief. Fielding Studios was supposed to have become Corey's when her "uncle" Max died, but Jason had stolen it from her. And she would never let him get away with that! — Jason had loved Corey Kelton ever since she had plowed into his Mercedes eight years ago. Loving her was easy--winning her heart was almost impossible. Corey claimed to hate him, but it certainly wasn't hate that made her respond so passionately to his touch. Then Jason unearthed a secret that would either prove his good intentions--or keep them apart--forever.

**An enemies-to-lovers lesbian romance with an ice queen whose frosty facade is melted by the power of touch.** Hannah Martin has an unusual job: she’s a professional cuddler. While she has a big heart for her clients, she hasn’t found someone special to snuggle up to in her personal life. Winter Sullivan isn’t looking for love. She’s an aloof workaholic who’s built walls of ice around herself. She would rather drive toothpicks under her fingernails than cuddle, and she certainly doesn’t want to share her space with anyone. When Winter’s estranged father dies, he leaves her one last surprise: she and Hannah, a perfect stranger, will inherit a building together. But there’s a catch: first, they have to live together for ninety-two days. Winter is determined to dislike her rival, but soon finds Hannah isn’t what she expected at all. Thanks to a hilarious doormat war, a cuddle dare from Winter’s half sister, and a kiss in the most unusual of places, the frosty fortress around her heart begins to melt. Will she be able to accept that love might be just a touch way?
