From USA Today & International Bestseller Grace Callaway “This book is the grab-a-fan, oh-my, on-fire kind of scrumptious." -Reader Review When a wounded lord hires a housekeeper in disguise, secrets smolder and sparks fly in this grumpy sunshine, enemies to lovers, spicy and cozy small town romance with heat, humor, and heart! Grappling with a life-changing injury, celebrated piano virtuoso Lord Ethan Harrington wants solitude. Chudleigh Bottoms, a quirky village in the middle of nowhere, seems like the place to find it. He hires a mousy housekeeper to manage his supposedly haunted manor and leave him in peace. When he discovers the fire that burns beneath her primness, however, he begins to question what he truly wants, and their smoldering encounters ignite his deepest desires. Fleeing from her past, Xenia Loveday needs money to secure her freedom. When she loses her job as a naughty storyteller, she finds work in the nearby village, a peculiar place that locals claim is cursed. She has no intention of setting down roots or getting involved with her grumpy and wickedly attractive employer. But passion lays waste to her plans, and she finds herself falling for a man she knows she can never have. As Ethan and Xenia work together to unravel the mystery of the manor's past, his wounded soul begins to heal, but her dangerous secrets threaten their happiness. If one kiss leads to desire, will more lead to love—or heartbreak?
