A winter's heart..."Debonair, handsome and with a devil's smile.

How could any woman succumb?"Miss Tamsyn Penrose remains far from impressed by London scoundrel Lord Winterbourne, preferring a wild gallop over the moors to sinful lips and fulsome flattery. But as danger lurks and her prejudice ebbs, she uncovers a man of contradictions, a man who awakens her forgotten fire.Seasons collide...In a Cornish land of cove and mystery, desire sparks and passion flares. But will Jack Winterbourne tear up the rules for a woman who maddens his senses and thaws his heart?A sensual Regency Romance with warmth and wit, this tale also includes a fusty valet, Lord Byron, picnics, swordplay, peacocks and...piskies.This book can be read stand-alone, but to follow Jack's story, it is recommended to read Marquess to a Flame as part of the Rules of the Rogue series.
