Her sinfully seductive rogue is not what he seems.
Angela Berry, an Italian-born widow of a wealthy American industrialist, finds the English winter unbearably cold to face alone. In a chance encounter, she meets a dowager countess who extends a heartwarming invitation to an enticingly naughty Christmas house party.
I know a deliciously sensual man who can keep you warm on these long nights. You will know him immediately by his uniquely gorgeous green eyes.
Serving the best interests of ones country can be challenging. Being the beautiful Americans lover should be an effortless pleasure. But if Evan, the Earl of Ashington, is not careful, he could fall for the warm, giving, incredibly sensual woman in his arms over the holiday season. And if that happened, he might forget that he was sent to spy on this foreign industrialists widow.
Angela finds what she expects: a charming, experienced lover. She is surprised that he is also a dukes heir. But he charms her and takes her to heights of passion she had never allowed herself to dream could exist. A joyous holiday fling ensues. Yet, occasionally, she catches glimpses of a self-disciplined, more empathetic man beneath his glib persona. A man she could easily love. But she knows a dukes heir would never marry the widow of an American commoner, especially when he shows no sign that he views her as anything but a short-term bedmate.
Unwilling to risk further emotional entanglement, Angela plans a return to America. However, when her past catches up to her, she discovers that her carefree lover has transformed into a powerful protector. Yet, as time passes, she begins to question if he is truly who he appears to be. Alone in a foreign land, she can only rely on the intuition of her heart to navigate the uncertain days ahead.
Will a growing bond of trust and hope light their way to a shared life of love? Or will the force of the inexorable past destroy their trust and any chance at happiness?
