Tender Persuasion

She couldn't admit that she loved him

When widowed Jade Kendall sold her debt-ridden English manor house to Dane King, she was sure that such a city slicker would never last there.

However, Dane, the attractive owner and literary agent for an international firm, won the hearts of the villagers with his warm and capable manner. Yet haunted by her own past experiences, Jade assumed that he led the kind of wild life she despised.

Until she had to use the manor library to finish researching her book. The physical chemistry between them was much too strong to resist.
