Practical and independent, Viola Cavendish knows how to handle trouble. The Earl of Winterton, though, presents more than the usual difficulties. Not only does he arrive to see her employer, the Duke of Wessex, while the duke is away… with his rakish young nephew in tow, while Viola is responsible for chaperoning a party of young ladies… right before a blizzard strikes, leaving them snowbound in Kingstag Castle… mere days before Christmas. But most troublesome of all is the fascinated way the earl looks at her, as if she’s a fascinating woman and not just a common secretary.
An intrepid explorer, Wesley Morane, Lord Winterton, is accustomed to hardship. He’s not put off by a little snow, his rebellious nephew, or even the absence of the duke, who may own a rare atlas that once belonged to Wes’s father. What stymies Wes entirely is the beautiful Mrs Cavendish, who disappoints all his hopes, one by one—yet every time she smiles at him, the only map Wes wants is the one that will show him the way to her heart…
