'Tis the season of merriment and joy -- but the prospect of having a guardian imposed on her leaves Lady Francine Fitz Hugh feeling distinctly un-merry. She'll just have to drive the crotchety old man away!┬аUnfortunately, Lucian Kendall turns out to be tall, dark, and sinfully attractive.┬аThe heat in his eyes when he looks at her tells Fancy that he's not leaving anytime soon...and worse, she doesn't really want him to.
┬а
As his ward,┬аFancy is off-limits to Lucien -- but her impudent charm, fierce loyalty, and lithe curves tempt him unbearably.┬аHe can't help but imagine teaching her the wicked ways of passion...and how her innocence might soothe his torment.┬аWhen his dark past is inevitably revealed, though, the truth might destroy them both.┬аIn the season of love and goodwill, does he dare hope for a miracle?
