Book excerpt: "Shock coloured her features, so well done that he almost believed it for a moment. He laughed, and it sounded harsh to his own ears. She flinched, and the bitterness drove him. He had dreamed, for ten years, of revenge, or reconciliation - it seemed clear that reconciliation was not an option. Revenge it was, then."Widowed Violetta Tytherton, Countess of Caldicot, will be perfectly happy if she never sees the man who betrayed her, ten years before, again. She has moved on from that, and is enjoying her independence. And, perhaps, by going to her favourite cousin's Christmas House Party, she might also enjoy Christmas for the first time in her life.Christophe Bourdain, Duke of Lustering, is still attempting to deal with everything he inherited, and to reinsert himself into London society. Duty says that he should marry, and beget an heir - but he cannot face the thought of letting a woman into his life that closely - he has been betrayed once, and he will not allow that to happen again. He will attend his old friends Christmas House Party, and attempt to relax, to forget all about duty at least for a short while.When a blizzard strands them both at the same already overcrowded Inn, everything changes. Old secrets drive them, as regret, revenge and desire tangle inextricably, until a truth ten years hidden is revealed by the force of an undeniable love.
