A courtesan in training...
Everyone that Katerina held dear has perished in a tempest off the coast of Italy. With not a penny to her name, she knows she must travel far to forge a new life. No one would ever accept her if they learned that her mother was Lucrezia Bruni, the infamous courtesan who was breeding young Katerina to fill her shoes someday...
A governess in hiding...
Still mourning his late wife, Michael Lindley knows life must go on--and that his little sister and daughter need a woman's nurturing. When a dark-eyed beauty alights on his doorstep, claiming to be a widowed governess, Michael feels a fire rekindle in him that he thought snuffed out long ago. And in Katerina, who thought her capacity to love had gone down with the ship, there flares a yearning only Michael can subdue....
You must be very proud of this book.
