He extended his hand out of habit. She took it without thinking. And in the moment she looked up at him — tired from the road, entirely unguarded — something in him rearranged itself so completely that he spent the next four weeks trying to account for it. He never quite managed to. This is the story of Philippa Thornton, who arrived at Dunhollow Hall with a second-best travelling dress and a very organised mind, and Quentin Ingram, who had spent thirty-two years being right about most things and was wholly unprepared for one small, genuine smile.
