Miss Diana Highwood is supposed to marry a lord. She's beautiful, she's perfectly mannered, she's ready to be a lady. At least, that is what Diana has been told her entire life.

Now that Diana has been living in Spindle Cove for two years to help her asthma, she's learned that maybe it is time she takes the reins. She doesn't want a lord, she wants Aaron Dawes, the Spindle Cove blacksmith.

Aaron has been secretly in love with Diana ever since she helped him during a fairly unpleasant medical procedure. The beauty he was too afraid to touch showed her steely backbone and her true grit, but he knows she isn't for him. So why is Diana constantly showing up at his smithy with broken trinkets?

When the stoked flames of both their desires finally flare up, these two are set for an epic romance sure to scandalize the entire town.

Love, love, love this novella. Plus, sex on an anvil! Huzzah!
