War hero Alistair Carsington really really loves women, and his romantic impulses have landed him in nearly as much danger as the Battle of Waterloo. To avoid his usual temptations and perhaps even repay the friend who saved his life, he's exiled himself to a place far from civilization - Derbyshire - in winter! Fate laughs at his good intentions and drives him straight into conflict with Miss Mirabel Oldridge, his match in tenacity, intelligence, and deviousness - who also happens to be wildly irresistible.

"Tu ne laisses rien affleurer à la surface. Quand on vit avec un volcan, on sait que les profondeurs bouillonnent de lave incandescente.

La jeune Hekla, par un beau jour de l'année 1963, débarque de sa campagne à Reykjavik. Elle veut devenir écrivaine.
