Elizabeth is supposed to pretend he doesn't exist. So of course, she wants to talk to him.Freshly expelled from Eton for a crime he didn't commit, Christopher is the illegitimate son of a duke. He's considered an uncomfortable, embarrassing acquaintance no respectable lady should ever deal with.But when Elizabeth and Christopher find themselves alone for a few days in a cottage during the country's most powerful snowstorm in centuries, they get close-too close for her parents' liking.He's sent away without the chance to say goodbye to Elizabeth. Only to meet her years later when she's his half-brother's bride-to-be.
