Defeated, she returns to her family&’s estate in St. Ives, resolved to a future as a doting spinster. After all, a lady with her record of marital mishaps knows better than to dream of happily-ever-after. But then Alice never expects to see Henderson Southwell again. Her beloved brother&’s best friend disappeared from her life soon after her brother&’s death. Until now . . .Alice is just as achingly beautiful as Henderson remembers. And just as forbidden.

But one glimpse of Alice&’s sorrow and Henderson feels a powerful urge to put the light back in her lovely eyes, one lingering kiss at a time. Even if it means falling in love with the one woman he can never call his bride . . .Praise for the novels of Jane Goodger &“Fun, delightfully romantic—and sexy.&” —Sally MacKenzie on The Spinster Bride&“A touching, compassionate, passion-filled romance.&” —RT Book Reviews on A Christmas Waltz
