About this ebook
Stranded in the fog at a crumbling Yorkshire castle, a guarded widow finds herself trapped with a reclusive stranger she cannot resist.
From the moment Crystal had arrived at Sam Barton’s remote mansion, she’d got the message: Sam had no room in his life for emotional involvement. But it wasn’t as if she wanted to marry him, for goodness’ sake—just somewhere to stay for a couple of nights!
She certainly hadn’t planned on cooking for an ungrateful cynic who made everyday politeness feel like an ordeal. Yet behind Falcon House’s derelict facade lay an unexpectedly luxurious haven.
The moody recluse seemed determined to guard his solitary life against an imaginary invasion—treating a stranded traveller as though she were laying siege to his peace. With the fog sealing them in, every moment in his kitchen became an exhausting contest of wits.
Crys steeled herself to endure enforced proximity with this arrogant, infuriating man. Only, she was taken aback to discover that beneath Sam’s tough, brooding exterior there existed a passionate sensuality…

- Slow Burn: What begins with prickly sparring over pan-fried trout and morning walks across the moors steadily flares into a searing passion neither can resist.
- Commitment Fears: Scarred by a bitter scandal from his past, Sam keeps the world locked out behind iron gates, while Crystal guards a wounded heart that has not healed since her husband died.
- Secret Identity: Neither is who the other expected—she never guessed her reluctant host was an award-winning screenwriter, and he never imagined his uninvited guest was a culinary star.
- Also by This Author: Los hijos del millonario, Zachary Black: Duke of Debauchery and Lady Arabella's Scandalous Marriage.
