  “[An] engrossing blend of romance and gothic mystery. The suspense is well done in a fine story line with plenty of unpredictable twists and turns.” —Midwest Book Review 
   
  Damaris Gordon shuddered at the thought of working for the cruel and bitter Master of Blacktower—but her father’s death left her no choice. Suddenly her fate—her life itself—was in the black silk-gloved hands of Gavin Hamilton, a man scarred and tortured by an unspoken past, whose mocking laughter echoes through his ancient Scottish estate. Damaris has heard the whispers that accuse Gavin Hamilton of his wife’s death and his young daughter’s crippling injury. But the pain and sadness barely hidden behind his blazing dark stare touch Damaris deeply—and a courageous heart is luring her to the estate’s topmost tower in search of his dangerous secrets.

  A tornado warning and a magazine quiz bring an unlikely pair together in this meet-cute romance debut perfect for fans of Notting Hill and Before Sunrise. 
  Nora is struggling with a corporate job that leaves her no time for family and the aftermath of an ill-advised hookup with a colleague who she's discovered had a girlfriend. And now there's a tornado warning on the news... of all things. Nora's prepared to hunker down alone for the storm with wine and a good book, until a beguiling (and admittedly handsome) British man shows up at her door. 
  Aiden tries to stay under the radar, but after starring in a string of popular movies it's become nearly impossible. So when Nora doesn't recognize him, begrudgingly letting him inside her home to shelter in place only after confirming he's an old friend of her landlord, he's relieved by the chance to be himself without the dynamics of celebrity.
  As they settle in, what starts as jokingly killing time answering questions for a silly magazine quiz turns into an evening of raw and meaningful discussion and blossoming feelings. But their new bond will be tested as soon as the sun peeks out. Nora is bound to find out who Aiden really is—and when she does, can their connection survive the storm?
