When Thomasine Strangeways returned to Catsholme Manor, the scene of her unhappy childhood, things were not as they had once been. Nick Carrier, who had been her friend and protector then, was now a moody widower who could encourage her passion and spurn her kisses. To fulfill her mother’s deathbed request was proving dangerous--and loving Nick perhaps even more so. Historical Romance by Kathy Lynn Emerson; originally published by Harper Monogram
