Beloved author Loretta Chase offers her long-awaited new novel--the tale of a bluestocking and a reformed rake who clash over a matter of business, and soon find themselves facing an entirely different, and delicious, sort of tension.

Alistair Carsington really, really wishes he didn’t love
women quite so much. To escape his worst impulses, he sets
out for a place far from civilization: Derbyshire--in
winter!--where 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
he—and 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 overbright aristocrat
reminding her she has a heart--not 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?
