Летнее убежище

В ту зимнюю ночь Дженни Маески потеряла все. Ее дом сгорел, и огонь уничтожил фотографии, дневники и, что самое печальное, старинные бабушкины рецепты. Уже много лет Дженни владела пекарней в Авалоне и вела кулинарную колонку в местной газете, мечтая когда-нибудь написать книгу. Начальник полиции Рурк Макнайт приютил ее в своем доме. Когда-то Дженни была помолвлена с его лучшим другом. Все эти годы между ней и Рурком существовало взаимное притяжение, но по негласному правилу они старались друг друга избегать. Будто сама судьба подсказывала Дженни, что пора расстаться с прошлым и тогда мечты о писательской карьере и счастливой семье смогут стать реальностью.

WHO WAS SHE?In Regency London, a woman escapes from a burning warehouse only to realize she doesn't know her own identity. Although the locket around her neck bears the name Miranda, she has no recollection of her past. Nor does she know why two very different men want her—the devilishly handsome Scotsman Ian MacVane, and Lord Lucas Chesney, the nobleman who claims to be her betrothed.In a race against time to discover who she is and which man she can trust, Miranda embarks on a soul-stirring journey that takes her from the dazzling salons of London to the craggy Highlands of Scotland. All of her beliefs—about herself, her world and the nature of love—are tested to their limits as she seeks the truth about her past and finds an unexpected passion that ignites the hidden fires within….
