Christmas Contract For His Cinderella

Christmas Contract For His Cinderella
Jane Porter

December in the brooding Sicilian’s castle… Spending the Christmas holidays with the man who broke her heart is Monet’s worst nightmare. But when commanding Marcu’s children urgently need a nanny she can’t refuse. Landing back in his aristocratic world, where free-spirited Monet never belonged, is bittersweet torture…and Marcu doesn’t anticipate his overly ordered life being disrupted by the enchanting woman Monet’s become. Duty has always dictated his actions—making Monet, with her infamous family history, strictly forbidden. But as their long-simmering passion burns intensely enough to melt the snow will Marcu finally claim his Christmas Cinderella…?
