Synopsis

Jesse Norwood, a confirmed bachelor, unexpectedly finds himself falling in love with Anabelle Gallant, a beautiful heiress disguised as a governess.She was a mysterious beauty who collapsed on his doorstep in the midst of a blinding snowstorm. Yet even before she woke, Jesse Norwood found himself developing a rather proprietary interest in her. Little did he know that his charmingly proper but maddeningly reticent houseguest was the heiress Lady Annabelle Gallant, or that she was masquerading as a governess to thwart the plans of a murderous villain who conspired to steal her fortune and her name. Or that he himself, a hardened bachelor, was about to fall head over heels for a woman whose troublesome self-sufficiency would stand in the way of a proper courtship. But Norwood cared as little for spoiled society misses as he did for deception.And if he were to learn her real identity, Anna's task would be difficult indeed: to teach her stubborn suitor that a titled lady needn't be tiresome...and that love is the greatest truth of all.
