The last thing Miss Caroline Fairbanks expected when she stole a wooden rocking horse from Daniel, the cold and arrogant Earl of Walcott, was that he would show up at her family gathering in Penporth.
She should despise him—his aloof nature, his sharp words—but from the moment they cross paths again, the attraction between them crackles like fire. Daniel is temptation itself, a man who makes her heart race and her pulse stutter with every heated glance, every stolen touch.
But he is also a man who makes no promises. A man who does not believe in love.
Even as she falls deeper under his wicked spell, Caroline knows surrendering to him may lead to heartbreak. Yet resisting him is impossible. So, she does the unthinkable—she indulges in a scandalous night in his arms, knowing he can never be hers.
