The Vicar's Frozen Heart
His heart needs to heal... He gave her shelter from the storm and nursed her back to health. But Tremain Hornsby is more than just a village vicar performing a chivalrous duty. He's an ex-soldier whose spirit has been ravaged by war, the second son of a duke living under another name, hiding his aristocratic heritage. Yet, despite his secrets, he cannot help but be drawn to the fallen beauty, and asks her to stay and care for the orphan in his charge. And hers is lost... Society has deemed Eliza Winston a disgraced governess. Dismissed, robbed, and left to perish, she finds herself in Tremain's home--and soon realizes her handsome rescuer is the one in need of healing. Though a daunting task, Eliza is determined to thaw the vicar's frozen heart--but her own is in danger. For Tremain is not only the man that she's dreamed of, but a nobleman-- making him an impossible match.
