The First Thing He Kept
One piece in the strongroom appears in no inventory anywhere in four hundred years of paper. He says it was never bought. He says it was the first thing he ever kept.
Imogen Calder values jewellery for a London saleroom, and she is good at it because she has never once wanted anything she handled. A week's cataloguing in a cold Northumberland house should be routine — except Ambrose Havard watches her price his collection with the exact attention she gives a stone under the loupe.
By the second day she knows he never intended to sell a single lot, and that the valuation was only ever a reason to have her in the house. When she says she will drive back tonight, he carries her bag out himself and leaves the gate open — so everything after happens because she keeps deciding not to go.
Then he fastens the collar at her throat at dinner and tries to give it to her outright. She cannot accept the best piece in a collection she is valuing and still have a career — and he will not take the one thing he wants unless it is given.
Explicit, open door, no fated mates, guaranteed HEA. A standalone novella. Perfect for fans of Thea Harrison and Katee Robert.
