'Tis the season of merriment and joy -- but the prospect of
having a guardian imposed on her leaves Lady Francine
FitzHugh feeling distinctly un-merry. She'll just have to
drive the crotchety old man away! Unfortunately, Lucian
Kendall turns out to be tall, dark, and sinfully
attractive.?The 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.
As his ward, Fancy is off-limits to Lucien -- but her
impudent charm, fierce loyalty, and lithe curves tempt him
unbearably. He can't help but imagine teaching her the
wicked ways of passion...and how her innocence might soothe
his torment. When his dark past is inevitably revealed,
though, the truth might destroy them both. In the season of
love and goodwill, does he dare hope for a miracle?
