Until tall, dark, and breathtakingly handsome Noble McEntire arrived in her small town, Emily Becket wondered if she'd ever lose her heart--but this seductive Yankee professor was a heart-stopping surprise! Shed always done what was expected of her, been good old reliable Emily, but Noble made her feel beautiful, even fascinating... and capable of designing a sweetly seductive trap to snare the man of her dreams! Her attic held dusty Civil War era papers he believed might clear the name of one of his ancestors-but though she responded with delicious abandon to his teasing and his touch, would Noble's search twist Emily's own family history and prove that the missing Union gold had been stolen by a Becket? Unwilling to sacrifice the intoxicating ecstasy Noble's lips taught hers. Emily feared the truth would shatter the wonderful secret of their unexpected love. Could she trust this sexy carpetbagger who'd accept no less than her unconditional surrender?
