description: COLD HANDS Ivy Sterling is lonely. Since her parents' untimely deaths, she has been sequestered at her aloof uncle's estate with only a few servants and her little terrier, MacTavish, for company. Still, Ivy holds out hope for her first Season in London. Until her guardian dashes her dreams, that is. But an unexpected distraction soon arrives on a chill wind, when a blizzard brings a bevy of strangers to her uncle's door: an acting troupe, two brothers en route to America, and a very wealthy—and disagreeable—gentleman… WARM HEARTS Robert Westbrook is weary of women. On his way to London to call off his engagement—at his fiancée's request—he's had more than enough of the fairer sex. Yet when a brutal storm forces him to seek shelter with the Sterlings, he finds himself both provoked by and drawn to the energetic Ivy. In need of diversion, the snowbound guests decide to put on a production of Romeo and Juliet, only to discover that mingling actors with gentry results in boundless mischief. Matches are made, broken, and mended, and as the storm lifts, so does Robert's hope that life does not imitate art—and that true love will indeed prevail…
