The Count's Saving Grace — Trish Morey

It was a long time since he'd touched a woman he hadn't had to pay…Scarred Count Alessandro Volta, a once famous concert pianist, is unimpressed when the crusty old archivist he's expecting to examine the extraordinary pages found in tunnels carved deep under the castello walls turns out to be the young and anything-but-crusty Dr Grace Hunter. He wants her gone.Dr Grace Hunter just wants to do her job and get out of there – something about the magnetic Count threatens her equilibrium, but the pages she's come to study could be the discovery of the century and make her career, and so she stands her ground.Except the longer the Count and Grace are together, the more the craggy castle, stormy weather and a neglected grand piano combine to work their Gothic drama.Surely romance has no place here… Or does it?
