She flees the London limelight to her cousin Emilia Graddock's country estate, where she plans to leave all thoughts of love in the past where they belong . . . until she comes face-to-face with the man who scorned her paintings in front of her friends and family, Alasdair Kerr. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAlasdair has recently set aside his life of travel to return to his family's estate-- the site of a tragic fire that claimed his cherished father's life.

But can they ignore the feelings kindling between them, which are but an ember away from igniting into a full blaze?","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50102547939551,"sku":"9780593499412","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/8958\/4607\/files\/1HL_Cnv7rt9780593499412.webp?v=1781083465"},{"product_id":"marvel-what-if-loki-was-worthy-a-loki-valkyrie-story-paperback","title":"Marvel: What If...Loki Was Worthy?
