About this ebook
"A very sweet historical romance novel set right around Christmas" from the author of A Study in Seduction and A Passion for Pleasure ( Unconventional Bookworms).
When Penelope Darlington is persuaded to elope with a most unsuitable suitor, she wastes no time. With visions of passion and adventure dancing in her head, she steals away in the middle of the night, just before her father's Christmas feast.
Fearing for his daughter's reputation, Henry Darlington begs Darius Hall, the Earl of Rushton's daring yet discreet son, to bring Penelope home. When Darius finally catches up to Penelope, he is shocked. She's not the silly little girl he expected, but a beautiful woman with a sharp mind and an allure that cannot be ignored.
Now forced to kidnap Penelope in order to bring her home, Darius and his new charge spend the next several days—and nights—in very close quarters. Penelope wanted passion and adventure, but she never could have imagined the pleasures Darius can provide . . .
Praise for Nina Rowan's Daring Hearts Novels
"A rare combination of beautiful writing and hot sensuality." —Eloisa James, New York Times bestselling author
"I was so pleasantly surprised with A Study in Seduction, that I am so looking forward to the next book in the Daring Hearts series . . . I like a good mystery entwined with the romance, and that's exactly what you get here." — Under the Covers Book Blog
"The erotic tension is hot." — Publishers Weekly
