About the book: 1995 / The search for clues to the mysterious events of a hundred years ago led Charlotte Butterfield to Nashville, to the dilapidated, but still filled with luxury goods, mansion of a proud and impoverished family Tollivers. They said that a ghost was wandering around the huge library of the house, in which the soul of a dead soldier was hiding. But the strong arms that once embraced Charlotte clearly did not belong to a person from the other world... but to a very attractive and courageous man - Duncan Tolliver. The masquerade is over, and he furiously demands that Charlotte - “adventurer” and “fraudster” - not desecrate with her presence the walls that are dear to him, unspared by time. But his demanding and sensual kisses force Charlotte to stay...Will she be able to convince Duncan that she is an unselfish explorer of the secrets of the past, who values her own independence above all...and the only jewel that interests her in the noble ruins is his heart?
