Hero was also tortured about his past and his ability to love and be loved. HEA - except Grandpa is going to die soon. Heroine finally breaks it off with him and quits her job. Hero moves him to a better nursing home and tries to help out the heroine, but he still won’t commit. To complicate matters the heroine’s grandfather has Alzheimer’s and the heroine is afraid he’s being abused at the nursing home. They begin a sexual relationship, but the hero is constantly pulling back and the heroine is constantly expecting rejection. He takes her virginity in his office and feels badly about it. The hero cruelly toys with her, but the sexual attraction is off the charts. But he is still as contemptuous when he is in the position to give her advertising company a contract with his company. This author must have been inspired by Penny Jordan because like all good PJ heroines, she is still a virgin at 25, having never forgotten the hero. She threw herself at him on her 16th birthday and he brutally rejected her. Hero was the bad boy who worked for her grandfather and she was the poor little rich girl who lusted after him. The tone of this one is bleak rather than angsty.
