Lady Pippa Godfrey has suffered the most ruinous London
Season. She escapes to her Somerset estate for a quiet
Christmastide holiday with her family, away from society's
prying eyes. But before her parents can join her, a storm
crashes down on Somerset to destroy any hope of Pippa's
white Christmas dream. The roads have flooded and travel
is
impossible, leaving her stranded and alone.But a muddied,
angry and devilishly handsome lord appears at her door
demanding shelter.
Lucas Hartfeld, the Earl of
Maddox, has been summoned by his
parents, the Marquis and Marchioness of Bowmont, to attend
a
holiday party in the wilds of the country, far from his
London townhouse. He suspects they command his attendance
for far different reasons than a simple country party.
When
a storm strands his carriage, he's forced to seek shelter
at
the only home for miles around, a local manor called
Helton
House.
When Lady Pippa is reluctant to admit him, he
does what he's
been raised to do--demand she provide him and his servants
with shelter until the storm passes. But the beautiful
woman
draws his interest far more than he's willing to admit.
Can
Lucas find a way out of the predicament his parents are
planning?
As Lady Pippa scrutinizes another
arrogant, demanding lord,
she is bombarded with memories of betrayals in her past.
Can
she forget those difficult life lessons to claim a
Christmastide kiss from a perfect stranger?
