This is a change of pace for Harlequin, and Lynne Graham. The heroine isn't an ingenue and the hero isn't unnecessarily cruel or thoughtless. Mikhail is a 30-year-old businessman who finds himself attracted to Kat, a 35-year-old virgin (this is actually believable) who isn't impressed with him. Kat retrieved her sisters from foster care when she was barely 20 years old and has spent her life to seeing to their needs. She's facing bankruptcy because she keeps borrowing money to take care of them, and the bed and breakfast that she's running isn't doing well. Mikhail arrives one stormy night after a friend sprains an ankle, and they need a place out of the storm. There's an undeniable attraction, but Kat refuses to fall over him. Mikhail can't take the rejection. The ensuing courtship is sweet, poignant and funny. It's filled with missteps by Mikhail and a developing sense of self-awareness for Kat.
