Winter Fire
Jo Beverley
A classic Christmas story back for a new season. New York
Times bestselling author Jo Beverley returns to the Georgian
period and the irresistible Malloren clan in this sumptuous
historical novel of sizzling tension, powerful attraction, a
false and forced engagementand the lavish use of
mistletoe and rather well-spiked eggnog.
Through no fault of her own, Genova Smith is in the
precarious position of accompanying the Marquess of Ashart
to the home of Lord Rothgar, his cousin and mortal enemy.
Even more distressing, she and the infuriating rake have
been caught in a passionate kiss, forcing her into the
dangerous situation of pretending to be in love with the one
man capable of stealing her heart...
Caught in an unwanted betrothal, Lord Ashart plays the game
to protect a lady’s virtue while pursuing darker purposes of
his own. To survive, he must confront his cousin and his
past, but the passion that ignites between him and Genova
threatens everything. With her, he realizes he’s finally met
his matchand if he isn't careful, their staged
engagement may turn into something deliciously real...
