title: Meredith's Awakening
author: Summers, Sierra; Summers, V.J.
description: Tony Renatto has worked five long years to make himself worthy of the beautiful, untouchable Meredith Worthington. He knows the truth -- beneath her icy demeanor hides a fiery woman who deserves love. A woman he's dying to break free. Growing up with an abusive father and a brother who condemned her sexuality taught Meredith not to trust anyone. There's no room in her life for a man like Tony, whose presence threatens her hard-won independence. Without it, Meredith is afraid she'll fall apart. Tony knows what his ice princess needs, even if she doesn't. He'll shatter her control with all the dark, forbidden things she craves. He'll power into her soul by way of her body and teach her to trust again, even if that means pushing past her every sexual boundary. Tony loves Meredith, and he won't stop until she's free.
