Fire and Ice: Legal Briefs (Harlequin Blaze, No 65) - Softcover

Jena McCade is a woman who knows what she wants and takes it. Wouldn't we all like to say that about ourselves? Have you ever wondered why so many of us can't? Perhaps it's because we're afraid of finding ourselves smack dab in the middle of a situation that may be too hot to handle. That's what happens to our heroine. BecauseTommy Brodie should come with a warning label--CAUTION: LIVE WIRE.

In FIRE AND ICE, provocative criminal defense attorney Jena McCade has faced her share of opponents in the courtroom, but sexy ex-jock Tommy "Wild Man" Brodie is her toughest opponent yet in the personal arena. When a scorching one-night stand leaves Tommy thinking he can take up permanent residence in her life, Jena uses every weapon in her arsenal to scare him off. Only Tommy's made of stronger stuff than that. And when he utilizes a few of his own sexual weapons...well, Jena never stands a chance.

We hope you enjoy Jena and Tommy's sizzling story. We'd love to hear what you think. Write to us at P.O.And don't miss Marie's story, GOING TOO FAR, available in February 2003.
