Reclusive ex-spy Christopher \'Kit\' Carlisle has barely left his country estate since his escape from wartime captivity, but a deathbed promise has forced him to London to seek out the beautiful-and elusive-Emma Townsend.
NB: This sweet addition to the Secrets & Spies series features the \'best friend\'s sister\' trope, with hints of Beauty and the Beast.. . .
In Emma\'s company, grouchy Kit rediscovers the joy of being alive, while Emma can\'t resist the impulse to make Kit smile again-or to steal his clothes while he\'s bathing .
When Kit reluctantly agrees to allow Emma-and her plants-to spend Christmas with him at his country estate, the attraction simmering between them is hard to deny.
For that she needs a hothouse, and the assistance of the one man who\'s always made her heart beat faster: the broodingly handsome Kit.
Botanist Emma is back from Brazil, determined to keep her precious Orchids alive long enough to present them to the Royal Society.
