Map of a Lady's Heart

Book excerpt: Let your heart be your compass… Practical and independent, Viola Cavendish knows how to handle trouble—and the Earl of Winterton is nothing but trouble. Not only does he arrive to see her employer, the Duke of Wessex, while the duke is away… with a rakish young nephew in tow, while Viola is responsible for chaperoning a party of young ladies… right before a blizzard strikes, leaving them snowbound in Kingstag Castle… mere days before Christmas… No, most troublesome of all is the fascinated way Winterton looks at her, as if she’s a bewitching woman and not just a secretary. Wesley Morane, Lord Winterton, comes to Kingston Castle wanting one thing only: the atlas his father carried on his last journey. He’s not put off by a little snow, his rebellious nephew, or even the absence of the duke. What stymies Wes entirely is the beautiful Viola Cavendish, who disappoints his hopes, one by one—yet every time she smiles at him, the only map Wes craves is the one that will show him the way to her heart… Originally published in At the Christmas Wedding. Now with new epilogue.
