Snowbound with the Pirate

When they finally kiss goodnight…

Eira Shepherd doesn't want to attend her cousin's holiday house party. She knows that, as a divorced woman, her presence there will scandalize everyone at Dorsey House and ruin all the festivities Lady Dorsey has planned. But when Lady Dorsey's brother, an actual pirate with the thigh-high boots to prove it, crashes the dinner party, Eira is torn between her ingrained wariness of men and a newfound attraction. What's worse—Nicholas Broadmoor has set his spyglass on her, and Eira cannot seem to resist his heated embraces.

How he'll hate going out in the storm.

Nicholas Broadmoor was supposed to stay under his sister's roof one night and one night only. Some might call him a pirate, but Nick considers himself a blockade runner and something of a hero. The French have other ideas, and they've been pursuing Nick and his men ever since his ship landed at Dover. When a snowstorm hits Dorsey House, Nick has no choice but to stay put. Not that he minds—he fell for the lovely Eira Shepherd the first time he saw her and relishes her company. When the snow finally clears, Nick is out of time and still hasn't won the recalcitrant lady. He has one chance left, and it might cost him everything.

As the blizzard rages, Eira and Nick give into passion, but can Nick convince a woman scarred by men to give love one more chance?
