A new enchanting historical romance from a βsuperb storytellerβ (Booklist) and New York Times bestselling author featuring a handsome, brooding Earl who finds himself drawn to his prim and proper housekeeper.Maximillian Burke has always prided himself on being the man every mother would want her daughter to marry. But after his scoundrel of a brother makes off with Maxβs bride, Max discovers itβs more satisfying to be a rogue than the perfect gentleman. Forced to flee London after a duel gone wrong, he seeks refuge at Cadgwyck Manor on the lonely coast of Cornwall, a place as wild and savage as his current temper. The tumbledown manor comes complete with its own ghost but oddly enough, itβs not the White Lady of Cadgwyck who haunts Maxβs heated dreamsβ but his no-nonsense housekeeper. The last thing housekeeper Anne Spencer needs is a new master, especially one as brooding and gorgeous as the Earl of Dravenwood. Even as she schemes to be rid of her new employer, she finds herself irresistibly drawn into his strong, muscular arms. When Max vows to solve the mystery of Cadgwyckβs ghost, he doesnβt realize it will put both of their hearts at risk and tempt them to surrender to a pleasure as delicious as it is dangerous.
