This novella was originally published in November 2011. It has been reissued with a new cover.Some wallflowers bloom at night… crashes into the ballroom and collapses at Violet’s feet. He’s wet, chilled, bleeding, and speaking in an unfamiliar tongue.
Only Violet understands him. And she knows he’s not what he seems.
She has one night to draw forth the secrets of this dangerously handsome rogue. Is he a smuggler? A fugitive? An enemy spy? She needs answers by sunrise, but her captive would rather seduce than confess.
To learn his secrets, Violet must reveal hers—and open herself to adventure, passion, and the unthinkable… Love.

I needed something romantic, light and easy to read. This fit the bill for me after too much stress. I Like this author and her strong male characters.
