Simply magic

"Susan Osbourne is a teacher at a girls school in Bath, who has been alone in the world since she lost her father and home at age 12. During a visit to a friends estate she meets Viscount Whitleaf, Peter Edgeworth, who has a connection to her childhood home. They develop a friendship and eventually bring out the best in each other."@en
"On a splendid August afternoon Susanna Osbourne is introduced to the most handsome man she has ever seen ... and instantly feels the icy chill of recognition. Peter Edgeworth, Viscount Whitleaf, is utterly charming-and seemingly unaware that they have met before. With his knowing smile and seductive gaze, Peter acts the rake; but he stirs something in Susanna she has never felt before, a yearning that both frightens and dazzles her. Instantly she knows: this brash nobleman poses a threat to her heart ... and to the secrets she guards so desperately. From the moment they meet, Peter is drawn to Susanna's independence, dazzled by her sharp wit-he simply must have her. But the more he pursues, the more Susanna withdraws ... until a sensual game of thrust-and-parry culminates in a glorious afternoon of passion. Now more determined than ever to keep her by his side, Peter begins to suspect that a tragic history still haunts Susanna."@en
