Some wallflowers bloom at night...
Violet
Winterbottom is a quiet girl. She speaks six languages, but seldom
raises her voice. She endured bitter heartbreak in perfect silence. The
gentlemen aren't beating down her door.
Until the night of the
Spindle Cove Christmas ball, when a mysterious stranger crashes into the
ballroom and collapses at Violet's feet. His coarse attire and
near-criminal good looks would put any sensible young lady on her guard.
He's wet, chilled, bleeding, and speaking in an unfamiliar tongue.
Only Violet understands him. And she knows he's not what he seems.
She
has one night to draw forth the secrets of this dangerously handsome
rogue. Is he a smuggler? A fugitive? An enemy spy? She needs answers by
sunrise, but her captive would rather seduce than confess. To learn his
secrets, Violet must reveal hers and open herself to adventure, passion,
and the unthinkable... Love.
Warning: The heroine packs a pistol, the hero curses in multiple languages, and together they steam up a cold winter s night.
***********
I'm keeping this review short and sweet, just
like the book - Spindle Cove is a wonderful series, and this book is
an absolute delight! Romantic, steamy, exciting and witty, a truly entertaining
story!
