presumed dead-and would have happily stayed that way. He's no longer the
reckless young man he once was, and only half as pretty. All he wants
is to hide away in his country home, where no one can see his scars. But
when he tries to sneak into his old bedroom in the middle of the night,
he's shocked to find someone already there.Rose Hayward
remembers Eli as the arrogant lord who helped her late fiancé betray
her. Finding him stealing into her art studio doesn't correct her
impression. Her only thought is to get him to leave immediately. Yet the
tension between them is electric, and she can't help but be drawn to
him. He might be back from the dead, but it's Rose who is suddenly
feeling very, very much alive. Views: 16
