A runaway debutante finds herself secluded and snowed in with a broodingly handsome earl in this Regency romance.

To escape the judgment of her overbearing mother, Henrietta Harvey flees London for a friend's estate in the Kentish countryside. Though she withstands the harsh winter weather on her journey, she will never live down the mortification of accidentally slipping into bed with Lord Hauxton!

The fellow guest is in no way amused by the pretty young lady's honest mistake. But when they find themselves snowed in together the following morning, Henrietta discovers that this cold man has an intriguingly warmer side. Still, hiding a secret that would shock the ton, she's resigned to becoming a spinster. Unless she can trust him with the truth, before the snow melts . . .
