Winning Joanna — Kathleen Coddington

The widowed Lady Joanna Leland wants nothing more than to be left in peace. When the king commands her to remarry, she informs him she has other plans. Those plans did not include getting trapped inside her manor during a blizzard -- or the near-frozen stranger deposited outside her door, a man who awakens sexual yearnings she thought long dead.

Lord Hugh, the king's finest battle strategist, has been sent by the king to change Joanna's mind. As the blizzard roars outside, the temperature inside rises until the attraction between Hugh and Joanna ignites and they succumb to long nights of sensual delight. Tempting her body is only half the battle. He must secure her heart as well. But Hugh's been keeping a secret that could destroy everything he is fighting for…and winning Joanna is one battle he can't afford to lose.
