  Can he melt the Ice Maiden’s heart?
  
  With a longing for adventure, the last thing Phillipa Peppiwell wants is to
  marry. After a painful betrayal by a man she trusted, she is wary when she
  unwittingly catches the attention of roguishly handsome - and sinfully
  tempting - Lord Anthony Thornton. Forbidden desires she secretly yearns for
  threaten to crumble her icy facade and reveal a past scandal best kept buried.
  
  Dissatisfied with his empty life, Lord Anthony seeks a deep and lasting
  connection... and finds himself intrigued by the Ice Maiden of the haute
  monde. Undaunted by Phillipa’s aloof nature and her distaste for the idea of
  matrimony, he sets out to thaw the bewitching beauty by enticing her with
  adventures of the most sensual type. But he, too, hides a scandalous secret...
  and if it’s discovered it could rip them apart.
