One snowy night. One very sexy man. One bed. What's a young lady to do?
Miss Victoria Hawkins is no stranger to secrets. After all, she is the daughter of England's spymaster. Her most precious secret is the tender feelings she holds for Thomas Garrick, her father's personal guard, but pressure is mounting for her to choose a suitable husband at an upcoming Christmas house party.
Thomas Garrick has loved Victoria from afar as long as he can remember. His station would never allow marriage, so Thomas makes do with dreams. When danger lands on their doorstep, Thomas will do whatever it takes to keep Victoria safe... even from him.
But, when the snow traps them in a cottage with a single bed and a bottle of brandy, the scandal of the season may be inevitable.
