Windows partition boots to Mac

When selecting my Windows partition after a restart, my Macbook still starts in the Mac OS. Same result when restarting from Disk Utility. What can I do to resolve this? I use that partition for all my work documents so I'm really hoping I can get back in there!

Appreciate any help!

MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Yosemite (10.10.5)
