So Near, So Far — Jessica Steele

He thought no man was safe from her. On Kacie Peter's first day of work her new boss had the nerve to insinuate she had a less than respectable reputation with men. Worse, he ordered her not to make a play for him -- he had no intention of changing his bachelor status! Kacie had been ready to quit on the spot. But something in Elliot Quantrell's steely gray eyes, his aura of energy, drew her to him -- made her want his approval. But how could she make him like her without confirming his worst suspicions?

Hero: Elliot Quantrell
