title: A Man Apart
author: Manie, Brigette
description: CAN ICE RESIST...
  Mahogany White's tolerance for anyone male is on the declining side of none.  Humiliated once by that gender, she takes her commitment to singleness seriously.  "Antarctica," "Ice Princess," and "The Queen of Mean" are just a few names she earns from those of that species who make the mistake of soliciting her attention.
  ...FIRE?
  Then in strolls Daniel Allen, a man who redefines the meaning of persistence.  Indifference, insults, curt replies appear to have zero impact on his tenacity.  A determination to win her attention and later her heart is his sole goal.  Along with his steadfastness comes a cannon load of charisma, a smile that can melt the most fortified heart, and a passion that pulls the object of his attention regardless of how resistant she is.
  ...OR WILL IT JUST MELT?
  Mahogany begins to rethink her plan, but just when she begins to bask in Daniel's attention and enjoy the cocoon of caring he provides, trouble steps in, reigniting her past fears and threatening the future that was beginning to look certain.
