(from back cover)

Alistair Carsington really wishes he didn't love women quite so much. To escape his worst impulses, he sets out for a place far from civilization: Derbyshire--in winter! There he hopes to kill two birds with one stone: avoid all temptation--and repay the friend who saved his life on the fields of Waterloo. But this noble aim drops him straight into opposition with Miss Mirabel Oldridge, a woman every bit as intelligent, obstinate, and devious as he--and maddeningly irrestible.

Mirabel Oldridge already has her hands full keeping her brilliant and aggravatingly eccentric father out of trouble The last thing she needs is a stunningly attractive, oversensitive, and overbright aristocrate reminding her she has a heart--not to mention a body he claims is so unstylishly clothed that undressing her is practically a civit duty.

Could the situation be any worse? And why does something so wrong feel so very wonderful?
