She loved Max too much to marry him

Sophie Carter was good at her job, the best her agency had to offer. When the von Hartogs, an eminent Austrian family, needed a substitute nanny, she was asked to fill in.

Sophie never socialized with her employers. Maximilian von Hartog, however, uncle of her two charges, refused to take no for an answer.

In the quaint snow-covered village of Kitzbuhl, Sophie fell in love with the determined baron. But when Max offered marriage she refused. There was so much he didn't know about her--so much she didn't want him to know.
