Pepper is a bitch-and proud of it. She has a great family, the best two friends a girl could ask for, and the career she's always wanted. But the buck stops there. Aside from the people closest to her, she completely lacks in the social department. Because of her snarky, bitchy, full on attitude, she's unapproachable, at best. Pepper learned in high school that you have to protect yourself-a handsome devil taught her that the hard way. And she does that by pushing away suitors. Most of them are lame, completely lacking in the brains department. Dating isn't something she wants or needs-or is it? Jordan works hard, running his father's legacy. A legacy that may be quickly crashing to the ground. With his brother, Jackson, together, they work to pump life back into their company. He doesn't have time for dating, but then he meets Pepper. To Jordan, Pepper is an enigma-a fresh blast of cool air to his stressful life. She's smart, sassy, and sexy as hell-the perfect distraction. Jordan will stop at nothing to claim her. But will Pepper allow herself to be claimed? With Jordan putting cracks in her icy heart at each encounter, Pepper starts to question who she really is-The Ice Queen or the cliche Damsel in Distress? The adorable man is quickly melting her heart and her panties. One thing's for certain-with Jordan, Pepper struggles to hold on to the only identity she feels safe with. Will he be the one to free her heart from the icy facade and make things right? Or, will things go terribly wrong?"
