Produktbeschreibung

Gwendolyn guards her bruised and battered heart like a warrior...Patrick O'Malley has no time for distractions... The Duke of Wyndmere's quest to find a nanny for his newborn twins brings yet another applicant to his door. Widowed Gwendolyn Alexander's reputation precedes her as one of the most sought-after nannies among the ton. Patrick O'Malley, head of the duke's personal guard, hopes this latest applicant will meet with the approval of the most difficult members of the duke's family...his twin babes. Nothing prepares him for the physical reaction that slams into him as the petite woman, dressed in drab peat-brown from head to toe, steps down from the duke's carriage. Her Irish whiskey-colored eyes hold him captive, while her voluptuous curves have his breath snagging in his lungs as unbidden images slam into him of tangled sheets...flickering firelight, and silky brown tresses spread across the white of his pillow. Gwendolyn Alexander anticipates her reputation preceding her as she alights from the duke's carriage. She steps down from the carriage to thank the footman for his assistance, and her gaze collides with an impossibly handsome, broad-shouldered man, garbed in black from head to toe. Desire flickers in eyes the color of polished emeralds, reminding her of Beltane fires, drawing her inexorably toward him. When Gwendolyn and Patrick find themselves at cross purposes protecting the little ones from threats of kidnapping, they must learn to compromise and work together before the kidnapper strikes again! Will they walk away or face the fire of desire that threatens to consume them?

Autorenporträt

In case we have not met yet, here is a little bit about me:I write Historical & Contemporary Romance featuring: Hardheaded Heroes & Feisty Heroines.I fell in love at first sight, when I was seventeen, with the man who will hold my heart forever. DJ and I were married for 41 wonderful years until my darling lost his battle with cancer. We have three grown children-one son-in-law, two grandsons, two rescue dogs, and two rescue grand-cats and one grand-dog.My Hardheaded Heroes and Feisty Heroines rarely listen to me. In fact, I think they enjoy messing with my plans for them. BUT if there is one thing I've learned in dealing with my characters for the past 29 years, it is to listen to them! My heroes always have a few of DJ's best qualities: his honesty, his integrity, his compassion for those in need, and his killer broad shoulders.I have always used family names in my books and love adding bits and pieces of my ancestors and ancestry in them, too. I write about the things I love most: My Family, my Irish and English Ancestry, Baking and Gardening.
