درباره این ای-کتاب
Agreeing to share her life with Professor van der Brink-Shaaksma had seemed a good idea to Beatrice at the time.
But while fine in theory, the "no strings attached" deal soon proved to be disastrous. Sensible enough on paper, the bargain merely required her to shield his medical research from relentless social invitations. In exchange for managing his quiet household in Holland, she expected nothing beyond an orderly, comfortable routine.
At his stately brick home near Leiden, she quickly won over his devoted staff and his sprawling Friesian relatives. Guarding his peaceful study, however, did nothing to protect her own resolve against his gentle, absent-minded charm.
For how could it work when every time she saw him, her heart skipped a beat? And what could she do now to make him notice her—not just as his wife but as his partner?

- Also by This Author: Damsel in Green, Visiting Consultant and The Course of True Love.
