As the power lines come down, the night heats up.

So the Devereau lawyers expect Poppy Winters to quietly vacate the beloved Dorset cottage in which she was born? Not bloody likely. Poppy's family tree is as firmly planted in Cranford Hall soil as any blue-blooded Devereau, and she will not be moved.

The injured man who crashes into her living room, accompanied by a howling winter storm, shakes her composure to the core. Especially when a power outage forces them to keep each other warm till morning.

But with the dawn comes a shocking realization: he has no memory of the previous night, but he remembers his name. Guy Devereau, the new owner of Cranford Hall. And he's got a woman—Nerissa—claiming to be his fiancée.

Yet as winter's chill settles in, Guy slowly and not-so-subtly disturbs her life in every wicked way—her knitwear business, her body, her soul...and her heart.
