Overview

John Charles Winston, Viscount Kirkwood, is bored. On a dare he enters into a wager, to earn his living for the next six months. What he doesn't expect is to find love.

Alana Sterling has been making her way in the world for years, having quarelled with her grandfather, a duke. At the house where she works as a companion, she is unexpectedly drawn to John, an apparently penniless scholar working as a librarian. Before anything can come of their attraction, though, their lives are complicated by the appearance of Sir Gabriel Follett-a ghost.

Years ago Sir Gabriel lost the love of his life, and has waited for the right time so that he can be reunited with her. Now that time appears to be here. What can he do, though, if Alana and John won't admit they love each other?

In a house filled with Valentine's Day tokens, it just might take some ghostly meddling to make two stubborn people see past their pride, and share their own token of love: a crystal heart.

Originally published in A Valentine's Day Delight, from Zebra Books.

Meet the Author

Mary Kruger has been writing for many moons and has the gray hair to prove it.

She is the author of the acclaimed Gilded Age mystery series, featuring sleuthing pair Matt Devlin and Brooke Cassidy; she has also written two contemporary set knitting mysteries, published by Pocked Books. Under her secret identity of Mary Kingsley she is also the best-selling author of Regency and historical romances, and has been nominated for RWA's prestigious RITA award. Mary began telling herself stories at a very young age and just never stopped. She believes the only good book is one that comes from the heart.

In addition to writing, Mary is a librarian. she has taught at Southcoast Learning Community in Massachusetts, and at Brown University's Learning Community. When she is not playing Freecell, she enjoys reading, needlework, and, of course, chocolate. She lives in a seaside city rich with history with her adored daughter and total boss, Samantha. She is currently working on reissuing the Gilded Age series in ebook format.
