Lady Phoebe Hunt never anticipated returning from exile. A fatal choice drove her from England, but the death of her father - and the revelation of his debts - has brought her home. Once she settles her father''s estate, she will return to America, where she has reinvented herself. There''s no reason to remain, not even for one gravitationally challenged but deliciously tempting entrepreneur: Sam Fenley. Samuel Fenley is all ambition. Rising from shop boy to wealthy investor, he''s left knocking on doors that open only for those with a title. Unless he buys the damned door itself - and the estate that goes with it. Sam offers to relieve Phoebe of her burdens, but is her crumbling mansion all Sam wants? Or is it the lady herself? When threats from Phoebe''s past spark new dangers, Sam and Phoebe discover that neither is what the other expected. Standing on the edge of disaster, the disgraced Ice Queen will have to decide if she wants to forge through life alone, or let an unlikely hero melt her heart.
