Winter's Flame — Maria Greene

A SEARING PASSION BORN OF DANGER AND DARK INTRIGUE

Distraught over the mysterious disappearance of her sister, Maggie Hartwell turned in desperation to Thaddeus Webb -- a devilishly handsome private investigator and one of the most incorrigible womanizers in Victorian London. Racked with fear and anxiety, the prim British beauty was unprepared for the blistering flames of desire Webb's dark-eyed gaze ignited in the depths of her soul...or the heart-soaring ecstasy that awaited her in the powerful arms of the virile, sensuous stranger.

But dire peril awaited them in the shadows of London's gaslit streets -- trapping Maggie and her newfound beloved in a deadly masquerade that threatened to destroy their rapturous, blossoming passion...and their lives as well.
