Seven months later, their relationship has progressed rapidly, and Penny finds herself deeply in love with Jeremy, who professes to love her equally. However, a critical issue threatens their future: Jeremy refuses to propose marriage. While he desires all the benefits of a committed relationship, he appears unwilling to accept the accompanying responsibilities. As time passes, their physical attraction intensifies dramatically. What began as passionate kisses has evolved into an overwhelming, consuming desire that leaves Penny increasingly unsatisfied with mere kissing. Jeremy, being a man with natural needs, pressures her for more—far more than just kisses. Penny faces a dilemma: Should she surrender to Jeremy's demands despite his reluctance to marry her? The scorching flame of desire between them burns hotter each day, testing her resolve and forcing her toward a breaking point.
