Of all the attempts to get into her bed - and over the years there had been quite many - this was probably one of the cutest and most charming ones and definitely impossible to resist. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eYoung photographer Marie Claythorn's life seems to be changing for the better when a lawyer informs her that she is the sole heir to her grandfather's house in Chesleyham. Upon arriving at the small village, however, she gets bad news: a distant cousin also poses claim to the house - which is already in a devastating condition. When she meets her cousin for the first time, Marie is immediately irritated. Clara Wright is convinced that she can buy Marie's share of the house, but the matter is not resolved so easily. While the tension rises between the two women, a snow storm breaks out, blocking all roads and rail tracks. They have no option but to stay in the ruined property - together, despite their obvious dislike. With electricity gone and the house playing tricks on them, they have to move closer together until eventually, tension turns into passion.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Tessa La Vella\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798310911963\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/01\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 150\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.34lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.00w x 0.35d","brand":"Tessa La Vella","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48851140641023,"sku":"9798310911963","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/two-pines-tessa-la-vella-9798310911963","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
