I had no idea what to expect when the producers of Dr. Hoffman sent me to the pristine white mountains of Aspen, Colorado. As the town of Aspen is known for being a winter haven for uber-rich Americans, I knew this desert cactus was going to be way out of her element.

Life, Love, Laughter. Three things I never expected to experience in the month of giving thanks, but that is just what I received.

Annabelle Johnson has a secret. It could ruin her. But yet, she remained in a darkened room with a gentleman. Perhaps it was because for the first time she felt safe in a gentleman's company. Lord Stannage was a handsome man. A pity then that everyone who met him only noticed his different colored eyes. In a society that only perfection was accepted, he was never going to feel welcomed. Two people, both hurting and afraid, needing each other's strength before their living nightmare can ease.

I’m a professional. That doesn’t mean I can’t lose control. I’m only human. But I’d better watch myself with Skyler Paige. She’s the hottest movie star on the planet right now - the woman I’ve crushed on for years - and she’s on the edge of losing it. She needs to find her muse. Hell, she needs to find herself. But most of all, she needs International Guy’s help. That’s why she’s come to me, Parker Ellis. Ever since Skyler opened her door, it’s been a freakin’ hurricane of charged lust between us. Damn.

Frankie finds that the bonobos she's studying are as complex as the humans she's working alongside.
