She’ll steal his heart!
After a traumatic event, Lady Claudia Fitzwilliam travels to Rome to recover. The last thing she needs is to be asked to keep an eye on rakish Mr Campbell while he works with her family’s Roman antiques. Her wisdom and philanthropic causes are known far and wide, but there’s a passionate side to her that she keeps from the world—a side which is dangerously reawakened by mischievous William Campbell…
As sparks fly between William and Claudia, they begin to discover that neither is what they seem…and that healing can be found in the most unlikely places. But can they trust their feelings not to leave only ruins in their wake?
