With a longing for adventure, the last thing Phillipa Peppiwell wants is
to marry. After a painful betrayal by a man she trusted, she is wary
when she unwittingly catches the attention of roguishly handsome - and
sinfully tempting - Lord Anthony Thornton. Forbidden desires she
secretly yearns for threaten to crumble her icy facade and reveal a past
scandal best kept buried.
Dissatisfied with his empty life, Lord Anthony seeks a deep and lasting
connection... and finds himself intrigued by the Ice Maiden of the haute
monde. Undaunted by Phillipa's aloof nature and her distaste for the
idea of matrimony, he sets out to thaw the bewitching beauty by enticing
her with adventures of the most sensual type. But he, too, hides a
scandalous secret... and if it's discovered it could rip them apart.
