The first book in the┬аCarsington Family series from award-winning romance author Loretta Chase!
Alistair Carsington really, really wishes he didnтАЩt love women quite so much. To escape his worst impulses, he sets out for a place far from civilization: DerbyshireтАФin winter!тАФwhere he hopes to kill two birds with one stone: avoid all temptation, and repay the friend who saved his life on the fields of Waterloo. But this noble aim drops him straight into opposition with Miss Mirabel Oldridge, a woman every bit as intelligent, obstinate, and devious as heтАФand maddeningly irresistible.
Mirabel Oldridge already has her hands full keeping her brilliant and aggravatingly eccentric father out of trouble. The last thing she needs is a stunningly attractive, oversensitive and over-bright aristocrat reminding her she has a heartтАФnot to mention a body he claims is so unstylishly clothed that undressing her is practically a civic duty.
Could the situation be any worse? And why does something that seems so wrong feel so very wonderful?
