CAMILLE: I never expected the man who could destroy my life to be the same one who makes my body sing with just one touch.
When Klaus Richter walks into my Christmas market jewelry stall, everything changes. He's all expensive suits and European arrogance, planning to sell our historic market to developers. But when his gray eyes lock on mine and his hands examine my grandmother's vintage jewelry, I feel heat pooling between my thighs that has nothing to do with the workshop fires. Then I discover the devastating truth: the antique gems I've built my entire business around are being claimed as stolen from his family during WWII. Every piece represents my grandmother's legacy-and what lawyers insist is his family's stolen heritage. Now lawyers are circling, my livelihood is threatened, and I'm falling hard for the one man who could take everything away from me. But when Klaus pins me against my workbench and claims my mouth with desperate hunger, when his hands worship my body like I'm something precious, I forget about legal battles and family loyalty. All I can think about is the way he makes me come apart, screaming his name while Christmas lights twinkle outside my workshop windows... KLAUS: She's everything I shouldn't want-and the only thing I can't live without. I came to America to liquidate property and return to Germany. Simple. Clean. Profitable. Then Camille Rivers destroys all my plans with one look from her gorgeous brown eyes and the way she handles vintage gems like she's making love to them.
