Book excerpt: The Viscount's Frozen Heart Luke Winterley, Viscount Farenze, is duty–bound to fulfil his beloved aunt's last request – even though it concerns bewitching housekeeper Chloe Wheaton. Years ago they fell in love, but the battle between duty and desire drove them apart. Now, embittered by a loveless marriage, can the ice around Luke's long–buried emotions ever thaw? A marriage between a housekeeper and a viscount should be impossible, but maybe the warmth of Chloe's touch can bring a new beginning for them both... The Marquis's Awakening Tom Banburgh, Marquis of Mantaigne, has sworn never to return to Dayspring Castle. But his beloved godmother has other ideas. She sends him back to his unhappy childhood home, only for Tom to find Polly Trethayne camped out under his roof! From the beginning, Polly unsettles Tom. A goddess in breeches, she awakens feelings he thought he'd locked deep inside. Can Polly storm the barricades Tom has erected and bring fresh vitality to his lonely world?
